A somewhat topical question.
What was the real name of Guy Fawkes?

Hang on - this isn't a trick question is it?
Are you after the blogger Paul Staines rather than the bloke who had the gunpowder in 1605...?

Since it may be a trick question how about his real name was Guy Fawkes?

He gave the false name of John Johnson, but if that's the expected answer I'm afraid the setter is mistaken.

Yes Guy Fawkes was his real (baptised) name. He took the name Guido whilst he was in Spain.
Your turn to light up the sky with the next question.

He did. It wasn't and therefore I'm not!

Very good but unfortunately incorrect.
Peterthegreat

Probably the best answer so far. Unfortunately it isn't correct.

Lawd- I am slow today. Just got it.
I hate doing this but my daughter is across the Atlantic on VS109 MAN-ATL and I am going to pick her up and spend the weekend with her. I must therefore pass the dynamite and allow someone else to destroy the Houses of Parliament and I thus call "Open Floor".

I vaguely remember it began with an A, but maybe I am thinking of Aardman (that made Wallace and Gromit)
