Guy Fawkes claiming he was just a patsy...

Oh, wait, that was Lee Harvey Oswald...(!)

(1) The gunpowder was so old that it may not have even been able to ignite, (2) there was an anonymous warning letter of betrayal sent,

(3) only Guy Fawkes (Guido) was on the scene that morning, and

(4) to celebrate the foiling of the plot, bonfires were lit that very night (!)
