5th November: a brief(ish) history.

This is Guy Fawkes:

He was a Catholic in 1605, which was a pretty shitty time to be Catholic.

This is Elizabeth I (one of the first HBICs):

She wasn’t big on Catholicism (it generally meant treason, which generally meant death). When she died in 1603 the Catholics thought everything would be rosy with James I on the throne:

They were wrong. He wasn’t big on Catholicism either.

This is Robert Catesby:

(This was a good era for hats. Or bad, depending on your fashion preferences.)

He was a Catholic and he wasn’t taking any more of this shit.

He knew that Guy was an expert with military stuff, so he got him involved with his ‘gunpowder plot’.

This is the gunpowder crew (or some of them):

So they spent 18 months planning and, on 4th November 1605, Guy found himself sat in a cellar under the House of Lords, with 36 barrels of gunpowder.

He was ready to light the fuse the next day, when the King would be there opening the Parliament.

At midnight he was found (so close, yet so far) and ended up on this:

Then after some nice, friendly torture, he was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered.

He was quite lucky (I would like to point out that I am using the British form of quite, as in ‘fairly’, not the American, as in ‘very’), he jumped from the gallows so broke his neck before the drawing and quartering happened.

Gory details for those of you who want to know (you all love gory details, don’t lie):

Normally the person would be cut down, whilst still alive, and have their testicles chopped off and their guts pulled out, right before their eyes. Then they’d get cut into quarters and sent to each corner of the kingdom, as a warning for the criminally-minded.

So that is why, in the UK, we burn this:

And then have big celebrations like this:

To celebrate that the King didn’t get blown up in 1605.

And also because we like eating hot dogs and toffee, plus we enjoy the general peril of the November weather potentially hindering our standing-outside-in-the-cold-whilst-admiring-fireworks fun. It’s how we get our kicks.

Remember, remember the fifth of November,

Gunpowder, treason and plot…

anyone ever: It's getting hot in here.

my brain: ......so take off all your clothes ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

me: wtf why??? still? what year is it??????

[lifeofquotations]

There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There’s .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I’m likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I’m grateful.

Do you ever start bullshitting a paper, and then look over it halfway through and think, ’…Wait a minute, I could be onto something here.’

[imguiltyofthis]

this is the definition of college.

[comic-canary]

Literally I was writing a paper on Asian salt water crocodiles, like a simple about them paper for a college class, and I started noticing some inconsistencies in the scientific papers I was sourcing and I accidentally discovered that the crocodile has been misdiagnosed as least concerned on the endangered species list when they should be classified as endangered and now my professor is having me write a formal report to the international Red List to have them reclassified and all I wanted to do was write this paper on an animal I thought was cool and now I’m considered an expert on this species…

[astroidbelt-moved]

what just happened

[wendy-darling-forever]

this makes me uncomfortable, 

[kateinator]

then do =x+2+ for the next part

[fraud-monet]

for “or blow me a kiss, and that’s lucky too” it’s =+1=+1

[sailorkitkat]

What is this sorcery?!?!

[floretsilva]

this is my favorite post on tumblr

the ending is: 12=x1=

[ollieofthebeholder]

So I just worked out the whole song, and here you go:

- 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 + - 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 + = + 1 = + 1

- 7 2 + 7 = x + 2 + = 2 + 2 1 = x + 2 +

- 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 + - 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 + - 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 + - 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 +

- 7 2 + 7 = x + 2 +

- 7 2 + 7 = x + 2 + = 7 7 2 + = x + 2 + = x - 7 - 2

- 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 + = x + 2 1 = x + 2 + 1 2 = x 1 =

My mind just broke

Mom: Are you writing an essay?

Me: Hm? Wha-oh yeah. An essay. Definitely. 

[xoxobriannanicole]

Today, I found a kitten sized chair and, luckily, I had a kitten to put in it.

Yesterday, the first Disney Park celebrated its 60 years. Here’s a look at all Disney Parks that opened since then (including the upcoming Shanghai Disneyland Park).

I love working at joann fabrics today a guy asked me to show him the fake fur and when I did he goes “noooo… this won’t do” and part of my job is giving advice for projects so I asked him what he was using it for and he looks down at the floor and quietly says “… I wanna make a yeti costume to scare people with when we go skiing…”

[monica-geller]

are you guys aware that the influx of ‘taylor swift sues people’ jokes have started again bc a radio dj is suing TAYLOR (not the other way around) because he grabbed her ass (aka SEXUALLY ASSAULTED HER) and she reported it and it resulted in him being fired from his job, so essentially she is being sued for reporting the fact that she got sexually harassed and it’s…. become a meme insulting taylor…. because there’s nothing funnier than spreading false information about things that combine taylor swift and courts of law apparently… but like go off i guess???
