What do you think would've happened if Guy Fawkes did blow up Parliment?

If you're in the UK, you know all this stuff(hopefully) but I'll tell what happened with Guy Fawkes for those who don't know, didn't read V for Vendetta, or is downright stupid(please tell me if I screwed some history up, I'm American). Guy Fawkes was a Catholic(when Britain was having a techincal war between the Church of England and the Catholics) who was going to blast Parliment to rubble via a store of Gunpowder underneath the buildings when the Protestents were meeting. Killing off these targets would have spawned an uprising and give an advantage to the Catholics.
He was ratted out and hung.
Nevertheless, what do you think would've happened if the building was blown up? And try to keep religious debates to a minimum and, for the same reason, keep your religion to yourself.
We'd be better off
We'd be better off.
They'd have built a new one.
Most likely.
We'd be better off
They'd probably have spawned an even great anti-Catholic movement
Everybody would be black
All the major government figures would have been killed so who knows.

I guess.
England would have fallen and the Catholic church would have taken over and possibly create another independent state within the English boundaries.

The King would be gone too.

Muslim! :eng101:
They'd probably just build a new one.
We'd be worse off.
Terrorist events are brilliant catalysts for removing civil liberties. Instead he failed the government have us support their brilliance every year.
ITV did a program a while ago where they created the explosion as accurately as possible with an accurate recreation of the Parliament building and everything.

Probably.
We'd all be gay dinosaurs. Thus better off.
[url=http://www.geekologie.com/2009/11/on_this_day_in_history.php]On this day in history[/url], In 1955, Doctor Emmet Lathrop Brown was standing on a toilet hanging a wall clock when he slipped and beat his head on the bathroom sink. Unconscious, Doc had a vision. And that vision was that of a flux capacitor -- the device that makes time travel possible. The rest, my friends, is history. Or should I say, [i]future[/i]? Time travel joke!

Damn you got me all excited and then disappointment.
[i]Reminds you all of Detonate (formerly Kaboom) when you spam 50KG dynomites doesn't it?[/i]
V for Vendetta would have been a pretty short movie.
there'd be less programs about firework safety.
There wouldn't be this thread.
The butterfly effect! None of you would exist right now, and probably not anything you're doing or thinking right now.
My head now hurts

Beautiful, simply beautiful.
The thought of all those bureaucratic fuckers being cooked alive and blown to hell makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

He'd be shot. You don't just DO that.
