I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the graphic novel or film "V for Vendetta" in which the persona of Guy Fawkes plays a major role; see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_for_Vendetta_%28film%29 In celebration of Guy Fawkes day I would suggest setting a barnfire or blowing something up but, given the recent U.S. midterm elections, perhaps it would be better to just watch "V for Vendetta" on DVD or on demand/streaming. You won't lose any fingers that way, well, not if you are careful while snacking. ;-) -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
