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...

THIS IS ODD: Owl with luminous eyes

This is monumentally peculiar. I don't believe a word of it. But I have no idea how, or why this was made, or even what it is. Please enlighten me...

You were right to be skeptical. It looks like viral marketing for LG Electronics. Check out the website with the LG logo at the bottom. Also, check out the YouTube channel for yorva. Notice one of the videos they have up is for a LG Transparent Phone. Also, every other video they have up has to do with the owl- most of them silly. For example, one is called "Star Wars in Africa!!" and has the owl shooting lasers from it's eyes while it fights the tribesmen who wield lightsabers.

By the way, my guess is they're doing this as advertising for the phone, the keys of which light up. Probably gonna tie the technology to the story of the "self illuminating" owl. Some comments made by yorva on their YouTube videos:
"scary scary!
didn't know that kind of owl lived in the world... feeling a bit scared but the owl looks so mysterious.. wondering what the crew can find out after this.."

And about the phone:
"it doesn't look like a phone..but touch screen looks amazing! i may choose this as a my next one. :)"
