Does anyone know what happened on November 5th, 1955?

[retro]

It's a very important day actually.

[You see, it's the day that Emmitt Brown came up with the idea for the flux capacitor. This came as a result of him hitting his head after slipping from the top of his toilet while he attempted to hang a clock.]

A woman in a deloreon asked me for directions the other week, I told her 1955 was that way.

Actually she was looking for the road to Windsor, and I didn't think of that fast enough.

Didn't someone try blow up Parliament?

Yes. But only in the eventually discarded first draft of back to the future: Doc Emmett was actually a card carrying IRA member and wanted to install a catholic monarch onto the throne of Britain...
