Tomorrow we celebrate the fact that Guy Fawkes was caught trying to blow up parliament. Assuming this celebration is about the failure. Does it not say great deal about us that we celebrate the most monumental cock up of the last millenium? For example. The chief conspirators Catsby, Lovel et al rode hell for leather from London to hole up in Ashby st Ledger with muskets ready to defend themselves against the pursueing army. As it was pissing down they arrived with wet powder and so tried to dry it by spreading it out by the fire. After the explosion they staggered from their cottage, attacked the army with swords and were duly shot. (tossers)

As a consequence we burn vast quantaties of crap and cause horrible smogs which leave our cars all shitty, surely we could find something else to get excited about.

Yep me too, but can we do it in the summer so the celebration in future years will have a chance of nice warm weather like the septics have it on July 4th and not always cold and miserable?
