11/5 changed everything.

I can hardly wait until the Mythbusters get to Guy Fawkes.

Whaddaya mean, nothing to investigate? It's a natural for them: stuff blows up!

OT, Tom, Gizmodo needs a theme song and is dangling a prize package from Shure. Not that this is, you know, a hint or anything :-)

Isn't Nov 5 also a good day for time travel?

I use that as one of my saved signatures in Gmail -


Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder treason and plot,
I know of no reason -
Why the gunpowder treason -
Should ever be forgot.

A friend posted that as their facebook status and someone else posted - in all seriousness - "That movie was drastically less interesting than I thought it was"...

hey, who says our educational system is failing?

That is sad. By the way, I love your icon. I didn't think anyone else had heard of that movie...

The complete poem is more than a little politically incorrect:

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence [or By God's mercy] he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Hulloa boys, Hulloa boys, let the bells ring.
Hulloa boys, hulloa boys, God save the King!

A penny loaf to feed the Pope.
A farthing o' cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down.
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar.
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head.
Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead.
Hip hip hoorah!
Hip hip hoorah!

Oh, is that today? I completely forgot.

I wonder if they'll celebrate or remember it in the UK area of Epcot.

It's DIWALI too...
and Hindus love their firework celebrations!
I'm donning my old tin hat and siren suit....

I never forget. It's my birthday.
