2. he's dead.
He never had a 105th birthday. Today is more appropriately the 105th anniversary of his birth.

3. Hmm. Are you sure? I suspect he put on a Barbaloot soot and ran off into the Truffula trees.
Well, after they were reseeded and the Truffula trees grew back of course.

4. Creator of a language all his own.
I told my little brother once that I was considering buying a house on Yucca Street in a town called Merkel.

His response?

He spit coffee and laughed, "Yucca in Merkel? That's not an address...it's a Dr. Suess book!"

At that point I admit I spit a bit o' coffee myself. :rofl:
