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...

I AM SORRY THAT TODAY'S BLOGGO IS SO LATE...

..but Corinna and I have both been laid low with what we suspect is swine flu, and Corinna in particular has been quite unwell. However, I am on the mend, and am doing my best to nurse her back to health, and normal service will be resumed in a day or two. (Or at least, I sincerely hope so)

You do not look well. Are you sure those were badger tracks and not infected swine tracks in your garden?

Mind you, they could also be the tracks of the Spotted and Herbaceous Backson (see Winnie-the-Pooh) which can also be a carrier.

There is no doubt that the H1N1 variant of flu is about and active this winter; a friend of mine is currently suffering from it, as diagnosed by Bolton hospital. He's in their intensive care unit last thing I heard, though there is a lot else wrong with him apart from a flu infection.

On the bright side, this flu seem pretty well co-evolved to infecting people; a more recent jump from birds into mammals would be much more deadly. I just hope I don't catch it, I've already had a dose of food poisoning this Christmas and flu would be most unfortunate.

We have it too, missed Curved Air, Argent and Wishbone Ash because of it. Oh well.

Keep warm, drink lots of liquid and hopefully you both get better soon.

Is it really swine flu, or have they just been making pigs of themselves over xmas.

Which ever, get well soon you two.
