Happy 107th Birthday Dr. Seuss!
Theodore Geisel began using the pen name "Seuss" after being banned from writing for his school Dartmouth College. He started using his middle name to avoid getting caught. And in case you were wondering why he was banned - he had thrown a "raucous" party during prohibition. Geisel added the "Dr." as a shout-out to his dad's desire for him to get his doctorate at Oxford.
