Hey guys ... a rope, a rope to hang the Pope

The fifth of November is a day we've been urged to remember (at least some of us anyway). It is Guy Fawkes Day, with evening celebrations marking Bonfire Night. 

Unlike Rick, I was not exposed to Guy Fawkes as a child through school celebrations. Instead, pretty much everything I know about Guy Fawkes I've learned from the internet. I wonder what he'd think about the popularity of his mask. I have no doubt, though, that he'd be amused to learn how "guy" is used these days, and how that came about from the way his death has been celebrated over time.
