Happy Guy Fawkes day!

Today, in the words of V from V for Vendetta, "Let us raise a toast to all our bombers, our bastards, our most unlovely and unforgivable. Let's drink to their health, then meet them no more." Yep, it's November 5th, Guy Fawkes day, the anniversary of the failure of the Gunpowder Treason. For those who don't know Guy Fawkes, here's the short version: The English government and king were being selfish bastards, and a group of revolutionaries decided to "hard reboot" the country's government... with 36 kegs full of gunpowder hidden under the parliament. Unfortunately, one of the conspirators wrote to his cousin to not go to the parliament. Yep, nothing suspicious there. Guy Fawkes was caught guarding the gunpowder kegs, ready to ignite, and he was Hanged, Drawn, and Quartered.

P:spin:ke out.

>< I hate Guy Fawkes. I hate the noise, I hate the fire risks (I was actually in danger because there was a fire in the parking lot right next to my flat), I hate being unable to breathe, I hate the drunk people, and I hate the flashes of light (which is a seizure risk).

I think Guy Fawkes celebrations should be banned, or at least the sale of fireworks to the public.

Sorry to be so negative.

Maybe not banned, but regulated. Yeah, some people go a bit crazy with it...
