You'd think that sooner or later the sky would realize this happens every year and it would defend itself.

I've never met a dog that enjoyed fireworks.
I doubt I'd be very tolerant of them if I had no idea what they were. Especially if I had better-than-human hearing.

Agreed. I'm at my sister's and another sister is visiting with one of her dog. Three large dogs in a house with my brother-in-law setting off fireworks just outside does not make for a good scene... :o

My dog was such a pansy... he was shaking and curling up near me and my mother in alternation and then he ultimately decided to hide under the couch.

It is better than English holidays like "Guy Fawkes Day", "National Beat The Irish Day" or "Shank a Scotsman Day."

Well, are there too many sensible holidays in the world? A large majority seems to be based on religion, nationality, wars, tragedies and whatnot...

Every bank holiday & civil service extra holidays in Ireland (they were put in place to allow Brit officials to return to the "mainland" since it took about a days travel). ;)

Both quite sensible :P

Guy Fawkes day is awesome. I'm American, and I wish we celebrated it. And yes, I knew about it before the movie "V for Vendetta".

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

Never read the comics. I used to work for a British guy, who told me about it. That was about 10 years ago.

Not quite before the comics then. In case you have any interest in comics, I warmly recommend the series. It's quite a long read, but the entire run is made of awesome. Then again, I am a huge comic book fan.
