Another foot find...


With Halloween approaching, you might find this experience interesting:  a boy was fishing in a lake and hooked but then lost what appeared to be a human foot. An eight-hour search revealed the big one that got away was only a Halloween prop. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/11/severed-foot-found-in-lak_n_924430.html

Stranger than fiction


Lord Byron gets credit for the origin of this concept ("'Tis strange — but true; for truth is always strange; Stranger than fiction."), but I like one of Mark Twain’s rewordings better (“Truth is more of a stranger than fiction.”).
