...the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
"Some of the English have been known to wonder, in a tongue in cheek kind of way, whether they are celebrating Fawkes' execution or honoring his attempt to do away with the government."
Whatever your reason for celebrating, have a wonderful and safe Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night! Get together with some friends and watch V for Vendetta, have a bonfire, and maybe light some fireworks (if you're in an area safe to do so).
