Dr. Seuss!

I didn't make it to class on Friday, so I did a little research on Dr.  Seuss.  His real name is actually Theador Seuss Geisel, which I find very interesting for some reason.  He was born in Massatusets in 1902, also something I thought was a little weird.  I guess I never realized how old he and his works were.  In college he wrote for the school newspaper, but got thrown out of his extra-curricular because he threw a drinking party during prohibition.  Typical college student, I guess.  His first book, To Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street, was written on his return trip from Europe and was inspired by the noise the engine of the ship made.  All of the things I found out about Dr. Seuss made me laugh, just like his books!
