A bonfire is a controlled outdoor fire used for informal disposal of burnable waste material or as part of a celebration. Celebratory bonfires are typically designed to burn quickly and may be very large. The name 'bonfire' is from 'bone-fire'.

In the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries, bonfires are lit on Guy Fawkes Night[12] a yearly celebration held on the evening of 5 November to mark the failure of the Gunpowder Plot of 5 November 1605, in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to destroy the House of Lords in London.

In the ancient druid religions,[citation needed] bonfires were held between 31 October and 5 November[citation needed] to celebrate Samhain, a harvest festival where they used bonfires[citation needed] to burn the bones of the slaughtered livestock they had stored for the winter months. People and their livestock would often walk between two bonfires as a cleansing ritual,[citation needed] and the bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames.[citation needed] Some modern day Druids and Pagans see bonfire night as a significant celebration to end the harvest festival.

I thought walking THROUGH the fire was a cleansing ritual. What's this walking BETWEEN nonsense?

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Mind if I stand next to you with the same expression?? Glad it wasn't just me that got lost.

No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible.
Believe me I tried.
