Guy Fawkes--The Gunpowder Plot--Bonfire Night

I was very surprised today when my students told me that they didn't know about Guy Fawkes Day, especially considering how much importance their state schools place on British culture. Here is a video recounting the story of the Gunpowder Plot, which happened in 1605 and is still celebrated today. Find out how English people still celebrate the events of 5 November 1605. You can also watch the related videos. Bonfire Night is a lot of fun in England!

Ghostbusters save the Matrix

The day before Halloween, Neo had killed some bad people. On Halloween night their souls returned to haunt the crew of the Matrix. Gabriel, the newest crew member, noticed his colleagues were very scared. So he called the Ghostbusters, who came to save the day. Thank God for the Ghostbusters.
