The day arrived at last, then: yesterday Jon and Corinna Downes, Devon and cryptozoology's answer to Hart to Hart and Dempsey and Makepeace, left headquarters for sunny Texas. Their mission - which they chose to accept - is to document and investigate the existence of the infamous blue dog. I'm sure we all wish them Godspeed and good luck.
However, there are more pressing concerns back home. Graham phoned me earlier on this evening to discuss our managing of the blog while our glorious leaders are away and I'm afraid we have a very serious problem.
Graham has beer tonight to help him work and I don't! Please send all donations in recyclable aluminium c/o the CFZ address and I'm sure he'll pass them on to me....
Graham's note: yes, indeed. After the blog "proofreading" was done, I put my feet up and had a couple of cans of the somewhat strangely-named Worthington's Creamflow Draft Bitter.
Liz's note: Well, I had chocolate cake, so there....

Last month's positions in this pinky colour, which I think is called cerise.
I am reasonably happy with March's sales. However, it is quite a strange chart: I don't think I have ever known so many new entries, but I am not going to complain....

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today
http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/
On this day in 1904 Nikola Tesla described the formation of ball lightning in the publication ‘Electrical World and Engineer’. Ball lightning is a phenomena that is often used to explain away a number of strange, Fortean or paranormal occurrences by sceptics who are presumably unaware that even ball lightning itself is part of what Fort would have called ‘the damned’, or at the least still disputed by some scientists. For more info on ball lightning see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning
And now fresh from the CFZ news blog, managed by the irreplaceable Gavin Wilson, I present to you the latest Fortean zoology news:
'Extinct' Aussie Frog Didn't Croak After All
Castrate Knut The Polar Bear: Animal Rights Group
Chicken defecates on Alan Titchmarsh
London stage fright: rats, mice and fleas
Cheeky monkey on the loose in Florida
The nature of Monkey was irrepressible.
