Just because its the 5th of November and I like etymologies! Familiar with this quote? Yes, it is from the graphic novel of Alan Moore's "V for Vendetta"that inspired James McTeigue's 2005 film starring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman which where they made the quote famous.
The quote serves as remembrance of Guy Fawkes Day. According to the Washington Post (just so you won't get all cyber crime on me), Fawkes was the 17th century revolutionary who attempted to blow up England's Parliament building on November 5, 1605 in what is now commonly referred to as the Gunpowder Plot. Fawkes, after getting caught, tortured and executed, became immortalized through parables, rhymes and other stories.
Remember, remember the 5th of November
The gunpowder treason and plot
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be fought
Favorite scene! When Natalie Portman shaves her head! She's still gorgeous.
