Yes, truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction is just make believe, which one would expect to read or hear about strange things; however, when that strange thing becomes truth it is hard to fathom sometimes ie. watch dateline medical mysteries...they have some strange things, such as a real wolf man and a women that smells like fish.

agree, to say it with mark twain: "truth is always stranger than fiction, because, after all, fiction has to make sense." there is a lot of truth in that. fiction is linear and carefully organised by its creator, whereas the truth is happening all around us, linear, circular, overlapping, on different quantum levels, influenced by mathematical factors we can't even begin to understand - it has to be stranger than fiction, there is no other way.

agree. fiction is limited by the power of the imagination of an educated storyteller (in whatever genre) and the qualms of the audience. truth is not.
