walshie 2,804 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 English History seems to be something we should be ashamed of and some of it isn't even taught in schools any more, but Google have taken the biscuit with this PC nonsense today. Google.co.uk (i.e the UK version) has a picture on it's search page each day about some "famous" event. Today is 5th November, and I would have thought the Gunpowder Plot planning to destroy the Houses of Parliament and kill the King would be pretty famous, or infamous, but they don't have anything about it. Apparently it would be Raymond Loewy's 120th Birthday today. Whoever the f**k he is. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt it. Even if you did, November 5th has never been famous for being someone's (who I still haven't googled) birthday. Remember, remember, the 5th of November. Some obscure bloke's birthday.
