Re: Dr.SEUSS explains computers
This is one of my favorite things Mr. Geisel (a.k.a. the most-beloved Dr. Seuss) has ever written! Call me extremely silly, but when I first saw it a couple years ago, I took the trouble to memorize the first two sentences, which was not so easy either!
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities." ~both quotes by Dr. Seuss |

Re: Dr.SEUSS explains computers
Just to set the record straight, this was in fact written by Gene Ziegler.
It's a section from a longer poem, and someone found it on the Internet, truncated it, and started passing it off as a Dr. Seuss work. I guess this person didn't realize that Dr. Seuss wrote the majority of his books in anapestic tetrameter (short-short-long), while this poem looks like it is in quartus paeonic tetrameter (short-short-short-long). ![]() |

So what we did is we printed it out and ran across campus to the Wireless Networking Technologies Lab teacher ( i just so happen to be in that class) and had him read it, then we went back to the libary and analiyzed it and figured out what everything ment
