"Remember, Remember the Fifth of November"

By Jordan Bradford, Contributing Blogger

Remember, remember V for Vendetta?:

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

- Traditional British Rhyme

Guy Fawkes refuses to be forgotten 400 years after his plot to blow up the British Houses of Parliament was thwarted. Read his hand-written confession of the crime, received after his torture.  Happy Guy Fawkes Night.
