Why did guy Fawkes try to blow up paliment?

Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the British Parliament in 1605 as part of the Gunpowder Plot, a conspiracy by a group of Catholic extremists. They aimed to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne, as Catholics faced persecution under his rule. The plot involved placing barrels of gunpowder in the House of Lords, but it was foiled when authorities received an anonymous tip-off. Fawkes was captured, tortured, and ultimately executed for his role in the conspiracy.


What are the lyrics for the Scouting for Girls Song- I wish I was James Bond?

Here are the lyrics: 007; Britain's finest secret agent, licensed to kill. Mixing business with girls and thrills. I've seen you walk the screen, it's you that I adore. Since I was a boy I've wanted to be like Roger Moore. A girl in every port, and gadgets up my sleeve. The world is not enough for the both of us it seems. So I wish I was James Bond, just for the day. Kissing all the girls, blow the bad guys away. And I wish I was James Bond, just for the day. Kissing all the girls, blow the bad guys away. Hello Mr Bond, I've been expecting you. Martini in your hand, and that eyebrow that you move. Don't take this the wrong way, I know it might sound odd. I'm the next double 0, I'm the right man for the job. So I wish I was James Bond, just for the day. Kissing all the girls, blow the bad guys away. And I wish I was James Bond, just for the day. Kissing all the girls, blow the bad guys away. I've a license, I've a license, I've a license to thrill. I've a license, I've a license, I've a license to kill. I've a license, I've a license, I've a license to thrill. I've a license, I've a license, I've a license to kill. I wanted to be you, I wanted to be you, I wanted to be someone else. I wanted to be you, I wanted to be you, I wanted to be someone else. And I wish I was James Bond, just for the day. Kissing all the girls, blow the bad guys away. And I wish I was James Bond, just for the day. Kissing all the girls, blow the bad guys away. And I wish I was James Bond, just for the day. Kissing all the girls, blow the bad guys away. Roger and Sean and Timmy and George and Daniel and Pierce and maybe one day me!

Did the twin towers blow up before the airplanes hit the buildings?

No. All of that is conspiracy theory. And it is just a theory, not the truth. Don't believe any of it. We all know what happened on 9/11. If there's any doubt of what happened, I can prove all of the conspiracy theories wrong in 1 or 2 paragraphs. The Twin Towers did NOT blow up before the airplanes hit them.
