#436 - Night of Thunder

on Nov. 4, 2007

Today is November 5th.. And here in Britain, that means one thing. Bonfire Night :) this is a traditional celebration dating back to 1605 when a group of um… Political Activists.. tried to assassinate the King of England in the Gunpowder Plot.. They failed and many were caught and executed.. depending on which way you want to look at it, we either celebrate their failure, or their desire for change.. Mostly we use the date as an excuse to combine Man's 2 greatest loves.. Setting things on fire and blowing stuff up :)

All we really have left are the words.. "Remember remember, the 5th of November. Gunpowder, Treason and Plot. I can think of no reason, why the Gunpowder Treason, should ever be forgot.."
