Roald Dahl was born 100 years ago today,Watch Psych 2: Lassie Come Home Online and human beans everywhere are celebrating with scrumdiddlyumptious treats and splendiferous parties.
Even though Dahl passed away over 25 years ago, his stories and characters feel as relevant as ever. Dahl will never produce another book or send off a controversial tweet -- but we can imagine what his characters would look like if they were living, breathing people.

They're big (really, really big) and way nicer than you. Sure, they may look like terrifying cannibalistic monsters from the outside, but all they want to do is help sad kids and sweet moms.

Tall, thin, and passionately dedicated to turning small boys into mice. They're priestesses of destruction, but also devilishly funny in ways that are sometimes painful to admit.
James escaped Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, and moved to New York in a giant peach to end up in a really nice condo. Mohamed left a small town that thought he was a terrorist to attend a renowned school in Qatar, free of charge.
Powerful gluttons who once owned sizable empires (that supported a lot of turkeys).

Happy Birthday, Roald Dahl.
