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...

Another Year, another video



I thought that you all might be amused by the latest edition of 'On the Track', described by Biffo as our "monthly videobloggy thingy" which is a magnificent piece of semi-alliteration. It includes me doing my all singing, all dancing, Woolsery's Mr Entertainment bit at last year's WW, as well as some items of genuine cryptozoological interest.

Many thanks to all of you who sent messages of support to Corinna and me after the trajic events of Christmas Eve. Guys, believe me, they are very much appreciated.

My love to you all, and best wishes for a groovy New Year...

Happy New Year, guys. I didn't go to a party either. I worked till 10pm and went home knackered. I just had a beer in front of the TV and watched those brilliant fireworks in London.

The film of the dead sheep was quite acary. These big cats look so cute it's easy to forget that they're very formidable predators.

Happy New Year to all at the CFZ!

We did go to a New Year's Eve party and I paid the price all day yesterday.

The last thing I remember is playing air-guitar to Motley Crue's "Girls, Girls, Girls." LOL.

Hope 2008 is a better one for you and Corinna, and you are both very much in my and Dana's thoughts.

I didn't know you saw Twisted Sister! Where was that? I'm hardly a metal fan but their song "We're not gonna take it" is a classic! (the riff at the beginning is the Sex Pistols' "Silly Thing" intro slightly re-worked...)

I saw them supporting Alice Cooper at Wembley Arena a couple of years ago. Alice was great, but they were horrid.

`Silly Thing` pish!

`We're not gonna take it' is a 75% rip off of 'It's not gonna happen' by Slade (the b-side of `Gudbye to Jane`, which was the first single I ever owned back in 1972....
