I thought he was hung, drawn and quartered?Originally Posted by Psychotic
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
But then, I don't exactly have too much info on that particular incident.
They probably hung his corpse
why should I pay for firecrackers when 1) All the awesome ones are now illegal, and 2) both of my neighbours celebrated Guy Fawkes for me, and 3) We don't really have effigies here anyway?
Dammit, now I want to watch Home Alone.
he was going to be, but when he saw his comrades being hung drawn and quatered he thought bugger that! and broke his own neck. Ironic really since his was driven by his catholic beliefs and his last act sent him to hell.
Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

What, so trying to blow up an important building hadn't already sealed the deal?
No, it was to stop opression against catholics I think. I was never taught that he was "evil" though.
Word/s.
I'll say what I said in Psy's LJ:
Happy Guy Fawkes allThey have this HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE display near me and I watched and lots of things went 'BOOM!' to loud music.
HE WAS FRAMED!
there was a picture here
If it had worked we'd all have been under conservitive rule for the last 50+ years...
I'm not sure if thats a good or a bad thing, I suppose we'd still have Margret Thatcher in power :P
Considering that it happened in the early 1600's in order to kill a King who hated Catholics, I don't think so Baloki
(PS: It would be an extremely good thing, but Maggie wouldn't be in power now anyway, as she's too old.)
You can't prove nothin'!Considering that it happened in the early 1600's in order to kill a King who hated Catholics, I don't think so Baloki

I can so prove nothing! Here it is, my proof of nothing:
YAY PROVEN!
And there's still fireworks going off, even though today's the 6th
^_^ Wow...I didn't think I'd get a debate goin on here! lol neat!
anyways...I was going around my school asking if people knew what Guy Fawks day was (l lived in England for 1/2 me life and now I'm stuck in America). I was suprised to find out how many people didn't even know what parliament was! 0__o
I think that's how it is with most holidays. In Slovakia, there is a holiday on 17 November- it's a memory of a revolucion that got us separated from the komunistic reign, and almost noone does know what it is about althoug it didn't happen so long ago. It's sad how ignorant most people are to such things.
