Almost, but not quite. He was captured, tortured and killed for attempting to blow up Parliament. In order to commemorate the death of this "evil" man, we burn thousands of Guy Fawkes replicas on November 5th - every year.

Any excuse for a celebration.

I wish there were fireworks here today.

Gee, it must be a great honor to have thousands of people make something that looks just like you every year so they can LIGHT IT ON FIRE AND BURN IT. Happy Holidays.

Guy Fawkes Night is basically celebrating an historic victory in the War on Terrorism, albeit one that happened centuries ago. I don't know if it'd catch on in this day and age, though - burning effigies of captured/killed terrorists, I mean. It seems kind of distasteful, somehow. Yet, because Guy Fawkes is an old tradition, it's tolerated. Even when many people - kids, especially - know little about what the day's celebrating.

Correction Raine, he wasn't killed. They took him up to the gallows to be hung, but he jumped off himself and broke his neck

Fireworks =

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if November 5th out-explosions July 4th.

[Shlup]

Sounds like an awesome holiday.

[Doomgaze]

If he had succeeded, would you people burn down Parliament every year? That would be cool.
