Oh, that Guy Fawkes

The ol' gunpowder plot gag eh?  Now I remember.  No, actually I don't, but after a quick wikipeda search on it, maybe I will in the future/  Weird how they named the anniversary "Guy Fawkes Day."  If they had caught Timothy McVeigh before he blew up the Oklahoma City building, would we have a "Timothy McVeigh Day"?  Probably not.  Of course, there is probably something more to the story that I am missing, but I really have no interest in furthering my knowledge on some silly Brits in the early 17th century, the ones that stayed accross the pond anyways.
