[size=1]I'll start: [b]Theodor Geisel (better known as Dr. Seuss) had more than one pseudonym.[/b]

"Dr. Seuss" was used for stories that he both wrote [i]and[/i] illustrated, and "Theo LeSieg" (and in one instance, "Rosetta Stone") was (were) used for stories that he wrote but did not illustrate. (Like [i]In A People House[/i] and [i][url=http://www.amazon.com/Please-Remember-First-Octember-Beginner/dp/0394835638]Please Try to Remember the First of Octember[/url][/i].)

Cool, huh?

That makes me sad. Both as a Physics student, and as a person who dislikes willful ignorance.

Did you know that Dr. Seuss tried to sell a story to playboy but was rejected because it was "way to dirty"

[Nerdsy]

[color=deeppink]Scratch that, it was 3 not 4. Commence the mocking.

And, as it turns out, that bill is still up for vote! It passed in the house in the late 1800s (wtf?) but stalled in the senate.[/color]

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][COLOR=darkslateblue]In 2001 Mamoru Oshii, director of such anime classics as Ghost in the Shell and Patlabor, teamed up with a Polish film studio to create the live-action sci-fi film [I]Avalon[/I]. The original language of the film was of course Polish, and it won several awards in film festivals throughout Europe.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][COLOR=darkslateblue]Maybe that wasn't obscure enough. Whatever. If you want to see it, you might find it at Blockbuster. It's quite good.[/COLOR][/FONT]
