I've declared today to be Roald Dahl Day!

Please enjoy these offerings:

1.) Roald Dahl would have disliked living in Portland, as he suffered from “pogonophobia,” which is an extreme hatred of beards.

2.) How did I not know that Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay for the James Bond movie, “You Only Live Twice“?

3.) "A persistent muddler. Vocabulary negligible, sentences malconstructed. He reminds me of a camel."
—From Roald Dahl's report card in 1931 (when he was 15).

4.) My phone’s voice recognition spells Roald Dahl as “ROFL doll.”

That concludes the Roald Dahl Day festivities!
