ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY.

On this day in 1605, Guy Fawkes and friends did not blow up Parliament. Thus began a longstanding colorful British tradition of not blowing up parliament, in spite of daily temptations.

    There’s a documentary on YouTube of someone (working on a British Military’s explosives range) building a full-sized replica of the hall where Parliament met at that time, and filled the basement with the same amount of black powder Guy Fawkes planned to use.

    The explosion was quite impressive.
