1. I believe it's Fawkes.

But yeah, that is rather appropriate.

4. Not sure I'd see it as 'appropriate'

when they tried to blow up the new head of state (the first Scottish king that England had had) and his government because they didn't like his religion.

6. Guy Fawkes Night celebrates the foiling of the plot.

Not the plot itself.

[muriel_volestrangler]

7. Well, yeah, but it still implies a plot (nt)

10. I tend to bring it up as evidence that terrorism is neither a new phenomenon

nor a specifically Muslim one.

At any rate, I hope this Fifth of November sees a government changed by democratic, nonviolent, and very effective means!

(Incidentally, I remember hearing of a child who thought there was a kind of tree called a 'gunpowder tree', because of the rhyme "Please to remember/The Fifth of November/ Gunpowder trees in a pot"!)
