I Do Not Like Green Eggs & Ham!

On this day in history in 1904: Dr. Seuss (a k a Theodor Geisel), was born.
Some Seuss trivia:

* Never had any children of his own.
* Before working on the children's books that would make him world famous, he made sculptures of fantastic animals in the form of taxidermist-mounted heads. Some of the creatures' surreal details would later appear in illustrations in his later books.
* Two of his works have been translated into Latin: "The Cat in the Hat" ("Cattus Petasatus") and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" ("Quomodo Invidiosulus Nomine Grinchus Christi Natalem Abrogaverit").
* His first children's book, "And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street" (1937), was rejected by over 20 publishers.
* Died in 1991 of jaw cancer.
