The American version of Guy Fawkes Day was “Pope Day,” celebrated in colonial-era Boston. Every November 5, two mobs, one from the north side of town and one from the south side, would meet in the center of Boston, each mob carrying a dummy of the pope. Then they started brawling, with stones and clubs widely used, and victory would go to the mob which captured or destroyed the other mob’s “pope”! The last celebration took place in 1764, and then Samuel Adams came along and decided that the mobs of Boston would be put to better use starting the American Revolution, instead of busting each others’ heads on Pope Days. Anybody suppose Ron Paul is trying to bring back that?

Well, the Battle of Boston sounds kind of festive. That would make a funny event for PPV.

The two 'popes' they had, did those signify the conflict between the two rival popes Clement and Urban back in the late medieval period?
