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/

OK, I’m here once more with a clutch of links to the latest news from the CFZ daily news bloggo under my arm, so without further ado and also because these links are quite heavy (seriously have you ever tried picking up a bit of the internet and putting it under your arm?) I’ll deposit them here:

Great tits found hunting bats for food

Plasobot: Robots from slime molds

Repentant man breeds 4,600 scorpions

'Killer seaweed' may have poisoned driver

Why did the crab blush?

Because he saw the salad dressing.

You see what I did there? You thought I was going to use the “because the ‘sea weed’” punchline again, but in fact the crab in question was eating at a posh restaurant for crabs, probably called ‘Salty Jack’s Bar and Grill For Anthropomophic Crabs’ or something and saw the salad dressing, as depicted in the linked artists impression:
