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!”
