Tomorrow in History, 1605: Gunpowder Plot

[mabfan]

Since tomorrow is shabbat, I won't be able to post anything until the evening. And a 400th anniversary is a major one...

Remember, remember
The fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason, and plot --
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Tomorrow, of course, being Guy Fawkes Day and Bonfire Night in the UK.

Oh, I knew that one! :)

Nov. 4 was supposed to be the release day for V for Vendetta with this in mind. Not that anyone in America besides the history-minded would have cared.

I still think it was a mistake for them to push the movie release date to next year, but since I don't plan to see it anyway, it doesn't affect me one way or another.

Out of curiousity, why not?

The concept behind the story doesn't appeal to me? I tried reading the comic book once, couldn't get more than a few pages into it.
