I didn't get Carl's reference. The only thing I know about blowing the 
parliament is from the movie V for Vendetta (no comment please !).
Now thanks to your link:
"In 18th-century England, the term "guy" was used to refer to an effigy 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effigy> of Fawkes, which would be paraded 
around town by children on the anniversary of the conspiracy"

Well, my knowledge is much too low to get this kind of reference from 
the start. :-/
