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/

On this day in 1858 the wedding march by Felix Mendelssohn was played at the marriage of Queen Victoria’s daughter, Princess Victoria to Frederick III of Prussia and Germany. Since then the piece of music became so popular it is seen as an essential part of nearly every wedding all over the world (a cynic might cite this as evidence of the hundredth monkey effect).
And now, the Fortean zoology news:

Tribute is paid to late Sandford-on-Thames 'goggle dog'
Jake to the rescue
Bigfoot might not be real, but the fascination is
ACS investigates photo of headless dog
Winning picture disqualified from Wildlife Photographer of the year contest and pulled from Moors Valley exhibition
White rhino dies at age of 41

While taking a bus ride an elderly English lady saw a Belgian and a Frenchman arguing with other.
“I’m telling you,” said the Belgian “You say it: WOOM!”
“No, no, no,” said the Frenchman “I’m right, it is woom-BA! I have a degree I should know.”
The debate between the two men went on for some time before the old woman got the confidence to intervene.
“Excuse me, young sirs, but as I am English I think I can settle your argument. This man is correct; it is pronounced as ‘woom’.”
The Frenchman looked furious and turned around to the old woman and said;“Sacre bleu! I seriously doubt you have ever heard a rhino breaking wind!”
