Remember, remember,

the Fifth of November

[CelticReject]

I think the fact that they cut his dead body in to quarters suggests that the authorities of the time DID feel that his crimes were rather serious!

[TheFallenTitan]

Check out the professor's tie! Elemental I must say! :)

[Akin Sankofa]

she's gorgeous

Remember remember the fifth of November the gun powder treason and plot I think of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot

[John-Michael LeBlanc]

Charcoal, sulphur, potassium chlorate, that sounds a lot like black powder...

[Klaus Funkwagen]

where did you park the delorian?

I'm not British nor do I know alot about Guy Fawkes day but it seems to me it wasn't an act of terrorism (i.e. they weren't deliberately trying to instill fear or terror in anyone). I think it was a failed attempt at regicide, since the King and most of his relatives would be there as well as the privy council they would just have to kidnap the young Princess Elizabeth and install her on the throne as a Catholic Queen once all is done and use her to their advantage... Correct me if I'm wrong...

[Logan Flickinger]

Terrorism is not when people from other countries attack people or in this case a Parliamentary. It is when anyone does anything to incite terror in people.

[Rambleberry]

I wonder why the professor chose his screensaver to be changing fullscreen colours.

[TheAllProNoPro]

How does that make it not terrorism.
