This morning, in my general overall eccentricity, I greeted my roommates with a reminder that today is November the Fifth, Guy Fawkes Day in Britain. Naturally and as is usual, they stared blankly back at me. Perhaps I watch too much TV, and have to large an interest in the history of other countries, but the Guy Fawkes legend has fascinated me for a few years now, at first since reading the Harry Potter novels (Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes, very aptly named), and then after watching V for Vendetta, of course. I thought I'd post a little info in honor of the holiday.
