Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on January 21, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Zach Helm! You're officially older than fiction... but thankfully still stranger and definitely wiser. From penning the whimsical brilliance that is "Stranger Than Fiction," you've gifted audiences a blend of humor and depth that's delightfully, well—strange!

Your creativity not only defined quirky storytelling but captured hearts across generations. So here's to you: may your imagination remain wonderfully unpredictable, your wit forever sharp—and let’s face it—the next time life narrates itself aloud around us all (like Harold Crick), we'll know precisely whom to blame.

Cheers to another year crafting stories more fascinatingly odd than ever before!
