It's
Guy Fawkes day today, which celebrates the foiling of the
Gunpowder Plot in England. The old quip would go that
Guy Fawkes was the only man to enter parliament with honest intentions. What they don't mention is that he later got hung, drawn and quartered for his efforts.
In the comics and movie
V for Vendetta, the main character does the same thing, but avoids such a fate...
Happy Guy Fawkes Night!
