Picture of the Day editThe Rock Springs massacre occurred in 1885 in the present-day United States city of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The riot, and resulting massacre of immigrant Chinese miners by white immigrant miners, was the result of racial prejudice toward the Chinese miners, who were perceived to be taking jobs from the white miners. The Union Pacific Coal Department found it economically beneficial to give preference in hiring to Chinese miners, who were willing to work for lower wages than their white counterparts, angering the white miners. When the rioting ended, at least 28 Chinese miners were dead and 15 were injured. Rioters burned 78 Chinese homes, resulting in approximately $150,000 in property damage (equal to $5.09 million in 2020 terms). The massacre in Rock Springs touched off a wave of anti-Chinese violence, especially in the Puget Sound area of Washington Territory.Artwork credit: Thure de Thulstrup; restored by Adam Cuerden
Quote of the day!! edit
Random fact of the day!! editThe eyes and nose of a frog are on top of its head, enabling it to breathe and see when most of its body is under the water. Commentary editPlay RuneScape it is pretty fun as long as you have someone to help you get started. World of Warcraft is also most definetely the best multi massive online role playing game (mmorpg) in the world. Chess is also a very entertaining game that uses all of your wits to beat the other person. The best board game i would have to say though is trivial pursuit. I've heard the song White and Nerdy and love it (if you haven't heard it listen to it). I don't care what anyone else says but Dr.Pepper is the best soda ever.
Sports editTennis, and soccer are very entertaining. My favorite tennis company would have to be Prince first and Wilson second. My favorite soccer team is definetely Chelsea FC. I like to watch just about any other sport. I also love to ride bikes on and off road.T.V. editThe Simpsons, Family Feud, Jeopardy, and The Colbert Report are shows that I like to constantly watch. Also any movie that has Adam Sandler in it is guaranteed to be one of the greatest movies ever. Card Games editOne of my favorite things to do besides edit Wikipedia is to play card games. Poker in any form is very fun especially when you have many people playing at once. My favorite type of poker is Texas Hold 'Em because it's the most universal poker and anyone that I ask to play poker with only knows how to play that type. I also know how to play many other types of poker such as Pineapple, 7 card stud, Five-card stud, Deuces Wild, Omaha hold 'em, ect. The card games I play the most are other random ones that don't require the convienience of having a bunch of poker chips laying around. Such games are Mao, E.R.S., and President. I dominate over anyone I play in E.R.S., am an average player in Mao, and am okay at President since I am fairly new to the game. If you know of any other cool and fun card games that don't require anything but the cards I would be very greatful if you could refer to them on my talk page. My WikiBuddy List edit
