Reply to comment by DoctorBocker in TIL of execution by Breaking Wheel that would start with tying the body to a wheel, breaking the bones of the limbs, braiding the broken limbs through the spokes and leaving the body to be eaten by scavenging animals and birds. by muadib1974
I suggest reading The Faithful Executioner
it goes into explicit detail about these things and you're not far off, sometimes the bones would be smashed with the wheel.

Reply to TIL that Chinese Food was introduced into America during the California Gold Rush, starting in 1848. As 30,000 immigrants had arrived from the Canton region of China, the restaurants gave the predominantly male population a connection to home and provided gathering places for the Chinese community. by jdward01
you know, I never asked myself "why were so many Chinese people coming over at that time?"
