OR in english: happy bonfire night people!

I think this holiday is only celebrated in england but I could be wrong...I dont see why americans or any other culture would adapt this holiday as it has nothing to do with them...

If you dont know what bonfire night is than Ill tell you! 400 years ago there was a plot to kill the king of england. This plot was devised by a man and his gang. The man was called Guy Fawkes. They wanted to kill the king as they were catholic yet the king was protestant so they thought that if parliment was dead then maybe the catholic religion would be the dominant religion in england again. Anyways to cut the story short they were caught hung, drawn and quatered (I think this is where you are hung then your body is dragged by a horse and then its cut up in quaters...nasty, yeah?) and the henchmens heads were placed on sticks...I think...At least I remember a drawing in a picture book like that but sometimes childrens picture books can lie. Anyways on the 5th of november people burn a 'Guy' (basically a scarecrow) to commerate this event. Also there is a lot of fireworks. As Im writing this all I can hear are big explosions as everywhere in Britain is lighting up fireworks at this moment of time. It can get a bit noisy and annoying.

There you go! A one hour history lesson in about 2 minutes heh.^^ I dont know why I wrote the history of Guy but maybe its my way of remembering this day as Im quite sick of fireworks. So as I said even if you dont celebrate this holiday have a good 5th of November :)

Is anyone dressing up??

Me and my friend wanted to go as Ganguro but I got roped into going for a meal with my parents instead :(

Anyways hope you all have fun!!!
