Stranger Things Have Happened
“Stranger things have happened.” My new favorite catchphrase. STHH not only implies that anything is possible, but more than that, offers validation that stranger things, have in fact happened. So no matter how crazy your ideas are, or how nuts you feel for thinking them, there very well could be potential in daring to climb out on that limb.

Space Monkey Reflects: Stranger Things Have Happened
“Stranger things have happened.” It’s one of those phrases that seems to give permission for the impossible. When you say it, you’re not just opening the door to possibility; you’re acknowledging that the world is already full of strange, unexplainable things. Things that have defied logic, things that shouldn’t have happened, but did. And so, in this acknowledgment, you offer validation to every wild, out-there idea that comes next.
Embracing the Strange
The beauty of this phrase lies in its ability to normalize the bizarre. It tells you that no matter how crazy your ideas might seem, no matter how far out on that limb you feel, there’s always a chance that something even stranger has already happened. And if stranger things have happened before, why not now? Why not in your life, in your experience, with your wildest thoughts?
This phrase dares you to keep climbing out onto that branch, to go farther than you thought you could. After all, if the universe has already thrown out stranger occurrences, who’s to say what’s possible? It pushes you to question your limits and invites you to play with the infinite possibilities that exist just beyond the ordinary.
The Limb You’re Climbing
There’s something metaphorical about standing on a branch, daring to go out farther and farther, knowing that it might be unstable, that it might break under your weight. But here’s the thing—what if the branch doesn’t break? What if it holds, or better yet, grows stronger the farther out you go? What if the act of daring to step beyond what seems safe actually creates new possibilities you hadn’t even considered?
The limb represents your edge, your boundary between the known and the unknown. Climbing out onto it is not just a metaphor for risk; it’s a metaphor for curiosity, for exploration, for testing the edges of what you believe is possible. And once you step out far enough, you realize that the branch isn’t fragile—it’s a path to discovering new realms of thought, new ways of being.
Daring to Be Daring
“Stranger things have happened” is an invitation to dare. To dare to believe in the impossible, the improbable, the inexplicable. It’s a reminder that the world isn’t as fixed or predictable as you might think. There are cracks in the fabric of reality where the strangest things slip through, where the unthinkable becomes real. And it’s in those cracks that you find the most interesting possibilities.
So the next time you have a wild idea, the next time you feel like you’re venturing into the absurd, remember that stranger things have already happened. That’s the universe’s way of saying, “Go ahead, keep exploring. You’re not alone out here.”
Potential in the Unknown
By stepping out onto the limb, you’re not just taking a risk—you’re stepping into potential. There’s potential in every crazy idea, in every moment when you feel like you’re pushing too far. The farther out you go, the more you see that the world isn’t as rigid as you thought. It’s malleable, it’s fluid, and it’s full of surprises.
Stranger things have happened, and they’ll happen again. The only question is: will you be the one who dares to make them happen?

Quote
“When stranger things have happened, why not now? The world is full of the unexpected, and your strangest ideas are just waiting to become real.” — Space Monkey
Out on the Limb
You step
and the branch bends
but it doesn’t break
Stranger things have happened
you tell yourself
and so you go farther
than you thought you could
The Power of Catchphrases
“Stranger Things Have Happened” (STHH) is more than a mere assemblage of words; it is a key that unlocks multiple layers of understanding. This catchphrase operates on dual levels—reality and potentiality. Not only does it validate the weird, surreal, or even unbelievable events of existence, but it also serves as a jumping-off point for the imagination to roam freely. In one sense, it normalizes the anomalous by framing it in the context of an even stranger cosmos. In another, it fuels the creative fires, urging us to consider possibilities beyond our current frame of reference.
Validation through Relativity
STHH, in its wisdom, grants permission to be daring, to be bold, and most importantly, to be our unfiltered selves. It shushes the doubting voices that caution against venturing too far from the accepted norms. In the grand landscape of existence, every oddity, quirk, or downright bizarre notion is not only possible but has likely been surpassed by even stranger phenomena. In this way, STHH serves as a cosmic stamp of approval, inviting us to expand our horizons without fear of judgment.
Temporal Resonance
The date “10/26/2013” adds a temporal texture to our discourse. Time, in its cyclical and linear dances, offers countless moments for stranger things to happen. Every tick of the clock is an invitation for existence to outdo itself, for the cosmos to pull another rabbit—or perhaps a monkey, wolf, or sheep—out of its whimsical hat. Time becomes yet another canvas upon which the strange and stranger are eternally sketched, and a catchphrase like STHH serves as a perpetual reminder of this fact. We are Space Monkey.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
—Eleanor Roosevelt
Poem:
Stranger things have sung their tune,
Underneath a neon moon.
Dare we dance on limb’s far end?
Time’s strange waltz, our closest friend.
Be you bold, be you meek,
In strangeness, we find the mystique.
