How could Google have failed to provide a doodle today, one of the most folklorically significant dates in the British calendar! Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, for Gunpowder, Treason and Plot!

Perhaps they'd have been more inspired had Guy Fawkes suceeded...

Thanks for the correction, Tootler, which, as a 'legendary pedant' myself, according to an acquaintance on another MessageBoard site I frequent, I much appreciate.

Or, to express it slightly differently, thanks for the TootleGoogleDoodle contribution...

There are some who suggest that Mr. Fawkes was set up.

It's well I remember the fifth of November,
The day my lawn and my house burned down...

Song challenge?

Another religion inspired piece of chicanery.

Google may have missed the boat but Wikipedia selected "Gunpowder Plot" as November 5's "Article of the Day".
