January 31 - Guy in a Hot Box

 Many of you may know of the relevance of November 5th as the day that the Gunpowder Plot was discovered and stopped - but it took until today in 1606 for the trials to conclude and execute the conspirators.


Execution for treason is especially gruesome as they were hanged, drawn and quartered.  Although, it should technically be 'drawn' (by carriage to the place of execution), hanged (almost to the point of death) and then quartered (cut into 4 pieces, usually after disemboweling).

So Guy Fawkes's death, and then 375 years later, Justin Timberlake is born.


The now 41 year old you may recognize from such hits as D*ck in a Box, Motherlovers and 3-Way (the Golden Rule).  And I think a few other things, but probably not as important.

As it's still pretty cold around in my neck of the woods, so why not stay warm with a cup of Hot Chocolate.  If you're in the US today is National Hot Chocolate Day.


So, do you put marshmallows in BEFORE or after?
