You say it's your birthday...

Yeah, it's my birthday today. On this day in 1605 was the Gunpowder Plot. If you don't know about the Gunpowder Plot, read The following is from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Gunpowder Plot was a desperate attempt by upper class provincial Catholics to kill King James I of England, his family and most of the Protestant aristocracy in one fell swoop and take power themselves. The event is celebrated on November 5th each year in the UK as Bonfire night (also known as Guy Fawkes night, after the alleged leader of the conspiracy).
