"Nonsense wakes up the brain cells. And it helps develop a sense of humor, which is awfully important in this day and age. Humor has a tremendous place in this sordid world. It's more than just a matter of laughing. If you can see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack." - Dr. Seuss

On this day 105 years ago, Theodor Geisel a.k.a. Dr. Seuss was born in Springfield, Massachusetts.  You might have noticed when visiting Google today:

However, the most important lesson Dr. Seuss taught me was the importance of having fun while learning.  If you love what you do and have fun while doing it, "will you succeed?  Yes, you will indeed!  (98 percent and 3/4 guaranteed)."
