3. Theodor Geisel was a nerd for words.

:D thank gawd.

[Shakespeare]

4. There's a reason I named my beloved Theo (kitty) in his honor.

Deity, he is.

5. I have a most excellent book:

"Dr. Seuss Goes to War."

Before he was Dr. Seuss, Theodor Geisel was an editorial cartoonist for "PM," a left-wing paper in New York. The book has all of his cartoons that appeared in it in the run-up to and during WWII.

11. Ok, then let me ask you something

Was the camera just a bit too close to Jerry Seinfeld's enormous head during his interview? I kept thinking he was maybe going to bite my face or something.

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Was that Seinfeld's head?

I thought they'd dug up a heretofore unseen extreme close-up of the Hindenburg disaster — though what that has to do with comedy, I'm not sure. :shrug:

7. You mean it wasn't Fonzie? (n/t)

[peekaloo]

8. That was a revelation to me , too. Woody Allen as a song and dance man

ranked second. :-)

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. If by "Theodor" you mean "Doctor" and by "Geisel" you mean "Suess", then yes.

You're spelling is teh suck.

:P
