Happy Birthday Doctor Seuss

03 March 2004

It's the 100th anniversary of Ted 'Seuss' Geisel - one of Billy favourite authors. Some titbits from Yahoo! News are:

"Seuss - his middle name and his mother’s maiden name - rhymes with “voice,” ... rather than “loose.”
He invented the word 'nerd'.
"Green Eggs and Ham" was written when he was bet $50 by Random House publisher Bennet Cerf that he couldn't write a book using only 50 words.
