Remember, Remember

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

Today is the day that Robert Catesby and his conspirators failed to blow up Parliament, and the day his man Guy Fawkes was arrested in the cellars attempting to set the fuses on thirty-six barrels of damp gunpowder

All hail the martyrs of the revolution! (even if they were absolute morons - why have so many revolutions needed me to fix everything?)

"...why have so many revolutions needed me to fix everything?"

If you ever find an answer to that question, let me know.

For the same reason of why cowards talk the loudest.
