    Norton seemed like a great guy. One time, he walked into a anti-chinese gathering, recited a prayer with the people, and gave a speech. He told that they’re all brothers and should treat all as the same. He ordered the crowd to disperse and they immediately did with no qualms. Fucking legend

    Here’s another fun fact about this which I find infinitely more hilarious and intriguing:
    There was another Englishman who moved to San Francisco named Frederick Coombs. He was a phrenologist, photographer, and inventor who later became convinced that he was the reincarnation of George Washington, despite being relatively short whereas the real Washington was 6’4”. He was noted to exclude himself in the woods during a winter and starved himself, thinking he was still in Valley Forge, until being convinced by his companions that the Revolution was long over and he could stop his fasting. Like Norton in his naval uniform, Washington II wore a Continental Army officer’s dress and would regularly engage with Norton I, who was his opposite in every way. Eventually he moved to I think New York City and even Mark Twain came to meet him. There’s a tavern in San Francisco with a full wall painting of Emperor Norton I on one side and George Washington II on the other holding a banner

Now they are the primary means of currency amongst students and have set their value at $1.33 USD, backed by the Lunch Standard- ie., one of the first important transactions made was the purchase of a school lunch for 4 Barham Bucks, which set their value their regardless of inflation.

      Yup. There was a mob of anti-Chinese guys (yes that was a “thing”; presumably the whites disliked cheap Asian workers), possibly about to get downright medieval on a group of Chinese people.
      The Emperor knelt between them and recited a Christian prayer out loud, and somehow that calmed the tits of the anti-Chinese mob.

      According to all known laws
      of aviation,
      there is no way a bee
      should be able to fly.
      Its wings are too small to get
      its fat little body off the ground.
      The bee, of course, flies anyway
      because bees don't care
      what humans think is impossible.
