On this night, 402 years ago, Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament with 36 barrels of gunpowder, but was caught. Now everyone in the UK gets an excuse to have a bonfire tonight in honor of the Queens safety. It's a sort of 4th of July type of activity, except they have a million national holidays! I mean we would too if the history of our country ranged over a period of 2000 years!
