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.
Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...
I am always reminded of a line from Camarillo Brillo by Frank Zappa when I see this picture. Coincidentally I always misheard the line as "is that a Mexican Poncho or a SERIOUS poncho?", and I think that whatever Oliver was wearing in the rainstorm last week was definitely a "serious poncho"...

Stick a small cigar in his mouth and get him to say in his best Clint Eastwood accent "I don't think it's nice you laughing.
you see my mule don't like people laughing.
Gets the crazy idea you're laughing at him.
Now if you all apologized like I know you're going to,
I might convince him you didn't really mean it!"
