I tried to get a thread going on the 200th anniversary last year, but it fizzled.

One thing worth pointing out is that the amount of gunpowder Fawkes &co used was much larger than you might expect - so much that some conspiracy theorists have suggested it was actually planted by the government in a frameup - and it wouldn't just have taken out the Houses of Parliament but a sizeable chunk of central London.
