Remember, Remember

Remember, remember,
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and plot.

I know of no reason
The Gunpowder Treason
Should ever
Be
Forgot.

On this day, the fifth of the eleventh, 402 years ago, a group of English radicals attempted to assassinate James I by blowing up the Houses of Parliament. I had no idea, until I saw V for Vendetta when it came out, and I’ve celebrated November 5th as a holiday ever since. So here’s to the Fifth of November!

Edit: Re-reading this, I realize I must look like some kind of freaky terrorist or something <.< Go watch V for Vendetta, you'll see what I mean. ^^
