...and a Happy Guy Fawkes to you all!

I shall be celebrating the preservation of Oor Gude King Jamie Sixt an First wi' a wee dram and my remaining sparklers tonight. I meant to make parkin for the office, but I didn't have time...

And while we've done lots of bad things to prisoners during the GWOT, a reminder of the cruel and unusual punishment you used to get *after* torture and trial.
