Yet again, more wise words from Samuel Clemens / Mark Twain. He said it first, and he said it best:
"Truth is stranger than fiction--to some people, but I am measurably familiar with it."
--Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar
"Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't."
--Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar
--from Chapter 15, Following the Equator: A Journey Around the World (1898)
