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/

Friday Fact time:

It has been rumoured by patriotic Britons that Charles Hawtrey was not sacked from the Carry-On films after being squiffy on the set of Carry On Abroad as historian Simon Schama claims. Rather, they insist, he lies asleep in a hidden cave in the Brecon Beacons with many of his fellow Carry On stars, ready to awaken and spout forth innuendo on film at a time when Britain needs them. One account recorded in folklore concerns a young man who found the cave and was greeted by a man wearing a golden suit. The man in the golden suit said that the young man could take anything from the great horde of ornate brass bedsteads from the cave so long as he did not knock over the golden pear sat on a plinth in the centre of the cave… It doesn’t take much to guess what happened next considering the cave was filled with Carry On cast members does it?

Anyway, it’s time for the news:

Tiny dinosaur species identified

Primate fossil 'not an ancestor'

Magpies hold funerals for fallen feathered friends...

Richard Dawkins on Darwin's universal impact

Giant seagull appears behind Nine newsreader Peter Hitchener

So which hen lays the golden eggs?

No pun today, for in its place is one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen on Youtube. Thanks to Dr Naish for first bringing this to my attention:

I’m sure you’ll agree it is much better than any ‘poultry’ pun I could come up with.
