On june 28th 1969, a large gay community in greenwich village in New York reacted to a police raid by rioting.
In New York at the time, it was illegal to kiss or hold hands with other people of the same gender. Police would regularly go undercover to entrap gay men and raid bars that knowingly served liqiuor to three or more homosexuals.
Eight officers entered the Stonewall Inn(bar) and began making arrests. The riot started with a Transvestite threw a bear bottle and a lesbian made attempts to escape. Meeting with resistance, the police retreated back into the bar and sealed themselves in. At one point the police opened the door and dragged a heterosexual who was passing by into the bar and beat him severely. Eventually the crowd grew to 2000 and the riots stretched over about a week.

The worlds largest and most successful halloween themed event. It takes place during the month of october at Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. While there you can expect to be startled but not touched by Costumed people brandishing metal noise makers called "shaker cans" and ghouls with knee pads zooming towards you at high speeds screaming "FISHY!!!"
While there be sure to drink Berry Punch

A person who likes to frighten others and drink free soda. They use shaker cans and are not easily intimidated. They are never expected and have ninja-like reflexes.
