Happy Guy Fawkes Day!
posted Thursday, 5 November 2009
- Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
On this day in 1605, Guy Fawkes attempted (and failed) to blow up the British Houses of Parliament. He's been toasted ever since (in some circles, at least) as "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."
Courtesy of the Moving Picture Institute, here's a short clip from V for Vendetta honoring the day.
OK, your turn. Say something!
