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 1872 infamous liar and owner of the tallest hat in Wisbech, Lord Reginald Elroy-Ponsenby, saw a wasp and tried to raise the alarm. Unfortunately non of the local population believed his wild claims, due to his 'infamous liar' status, and they paid his warning little heed and continued to go about their daily life unaware of the tragedy that was to befall the town. By the end of the day the wasp had made it's way into a local bakers shop where it buzzed around the sticky buns and the pink fingers before nearly stinging the Lord Mayor. The Lord Mayor was so embarrassed by the incident that he immediately resigned and the town has been without a Lord Mayor ever since. Of course the only surviving source of this story is Lord Reginald Elroy-Ponsenby's memoirs, so it could be untrue.
And now, the news:
