To revive this group...
I read somewhere that, during Guy Fawke's Night 1679, there was an effigy of the Pope's surgeon holding, among other things, an urinal.
Can anybody explain why an urinal? I tried to find something on Google without any success.
Thanks in advance.

The only reference I can find was a report by a Benjamin Harris in Sussex of the burning of a Popish effigy. Nothing about a urinal though. http://www.wilsonsalmanac.com/guy_fawkes_day.html
