Remember, Remember...

"Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot..."

Today is my birthday. It also the day that Guy Fawkes attempted to bomb parliament in 1605 (a la V for Vendetta).

A great fictional event occurred on this date as well. The inventing of the flux capacitor, which makes all time travel possible.

Here's a link for more information on this fantastic achievement:
