WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday’s News Today

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

With all the new people visiting this blog there is a chance people might be reading the yesterday’s news today posts with a look of doubt and enquiry upon their faces. Well, I suppose I had better offer an explanation of what this short posting is about. Well, as well as this blog, which mainly concerns articles written by members of the CFZ, we have another blog. This other blog is a place with articles from old media outlets like news papers posted by Mr Wilson (not to be confused with the other Mr Wilson) who you may have seen in the comments sections here sporting a fine hedgehog avatar. The articles are mainly to do with cryptozoology or at least have a link to the subject, even though sometimes the link might be a bit tenuous. If the story is of interest to cryptozoologists we’ll make sure it gets sent to Gavin to pop up on the blog. Once the stories are uploaded I then write a bit of a preamble that nobody reads (unless you’re reading it now just to be all cool and rebellious), post the links and pop a pun on the end from ‘Bob Monkhouse’s Big Book O’ Puns’ and then it’s ready to hand over to Jon to upload to tomorrows blog. The hand-over ceremony is of course a closely guarded secret, like the location of Elvis Presley’s retirement bungalow or the recipe of Iron Bru but I can tell you it involves a golden suit, the word 'hens' and the set of Noel’s House Party. On the subject of the set of Noel’s House Party, did you know that was Noel’s real house? He had the audience seating put in for the house party and kept it after as a reminder of the fun he would have watching people ‘grabbing a grand’ or by Frank Carson turning up and doing something unfunny. On a darker note, when the CFZ explored the premises I found a hidden laboratory deep in the cellars where they preformed genetic experiments to create Mr Blobby and his family. But anyway, I digress; here is the news:

Six-legged cow found in China
Exploring the 'Google forest'
Alaska's Rat Island rat-free after 229 years
Dog finds dope, eats dope, gets stoned
Guns expel snakes from police station
Female fox steals 100 shoes

She only did it because she thought the new boots might make her look more ‘foxy’.
