Fact 13:
Guy Fawkes:

The name Guy Fawkes has become widely popularized due to the band of 12 year olds and over weight middle aged men known as Anonymous adopting a mask stylized after Fawkes face. But not many people know who he was or what is is known for beyond that.
On May 20th of 1604, five men met in a London inn to devise a plan, blow up the British government. You see there was an upcoming opening of Parliament, a ceremony in which King James I, his wife Queen Anne, as well as all of the leading government officials would be attending. Guy Fawkes and the four other conspirators hoped that after the confusion the Catholics would take over. And their plan would have gone through if it weren't for the plague.
That spring a fierce outbreak of the plague ravaged London forcing the parliament to reschedule the opening for February 7, 1605. By January 1605, the plague had 37,000 of the 210,000 citizens of London, this causing it to be postponed again until October, and then once again to November. These delays were costing the conspirators quite a bit of money, so with each passing month they had to recruit more and more to help pay rent.

Finally the opening had arrived and everything was in place, 36 barrels full of gunpowder was filling the chamber directly below the ceremony. Keep in mind that this is 5 times the amount of gunpowder that would have been needed. Everything was going right until the chamber with the gunpowder was searched by guards. There they found Guy Fawkes laying in wait to light the fuse. The government had been tipped off by an anonymous letter most likely written by one of the newer conspirators. Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators were all put to death.
Funny, Guy Fawkes, practically the logo of anonymous, was ended because of an anonymous letter.
--------------------
Lil note: Sorry about the delay guys, life has kinda been catching up on me and I have really had my hands full. I'll make a post explaining more when I have the time. Sorry if I'm not able to be on as much anymore guys, I'll still do my best to keep this updated everyday. Love you guys.

He was Epic Fail Guy long before any of those newfag fucktards decided to use him for whatever bs reason they felt was appropriate. If you look back at his roots he never did anything right, its also funny how anonymous became a tool for good when for years prior they were the most fucked up trolls on the planet. "Anonymous" taking on the image of EFG is extremely appropriate...

Day 14:
Final Exits: President Harrison
Today, as we close off week two of this thread, I decided it might be nice to start a new tradition to this thread, Final Exits. This will be a weekly fact segment highlighting various unconventional deaths. So I decided to start things off presidential, with the death of President William Henry Harrison, the 9th president of the United states of America.

In 1840 William Harrison was elected to be the 9th president of the United States of America. Winning mostly due to his outstanding war record in the War of 1812, William wanted to show the country that he was tough enough for the job despite his 68 years.
Even though the day of his inauguration was raw, cold, wet, and had heavy rain pelting down, Harrison took off his coat and gloves and delivered a 105 minute long inauguration speech. In case you were wondering, that is still the record of longest inauguration speech to this day.
The next day... President Harrison came down with a cold. This progressed into pneumonia, despite his doctor attempting to cure him with caster oil, calomel, ipecac, opium , camphor, and brandy. Within a month he was dead, becoming the first United States president to die in office, after only being in office for 32 days.
