ARCHIVING PROJECT: General Forteana part 27
As you know, Oll has been working on the archiving project since early February 2009 and he is now working on a general mish-mash of a section known as `General Forteana`. This 27th collection once again really is a collection of completely uncategoriseable stuff, including the self-styled vampire who killed his mother, the talk show host and UFOs, the Nepalese girls who are married to pieces of fruit, and the Yorkshire pub ghost that crossed the Atlantic... It doesn't get much better than this. Good stuff.

I agreed with the OP that these were a "striking pair of antlers". Thanks to Rick for letting me repost.
REDFERN WRITES
I was recently interviewed extensively about my cryptozoological investigations by the British-based website Paranormal The Other Side.
We cover a lot of ground, such as how I got into crypto, my expeditions to Puerto Rico in search of the Chupacabras, the Patterson-Bigfoot film and much more.

DARREN NAISH HITS THE PUBLICITY TRAIL
Earlier this year (July) my children's book on Mesozoic reptiles - Dinosaurs Life Size - appeared in the shops. People seem to like it (yikes, even if some of the 'life sized' animals are scaled wrong). July also saw the publication of Dorling Kindersley's Know It All (Baines 2010); I didn't write the whole book; just the section on prehistoric animals. Today I'm pleased to announce that my third book for 2010 - Tetrapod Zoology Book One (Naish 2010) - is finally available.
It won't (so far as I know) be available on the shelves of book stores, and (should you want it) you'll have to order it online. We'll get to that in a moment.

On this day in 1967 Ernesto 'Che' Guevara was executed for attempting to ensite a rebellion in Bolivia and in 1986 the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, 'The Phantom of the Opera', had its first performance in London. Speaking of Andrew Lloyd Webber, few people know this but he once had a hit with genius children's TV presenter and all round top bloke Timmy Mallett (I met him when I was waiting tables in Cardiff while I was an A-level student and can vouch for that):

Webber was also the mysterious Doctor Spin responsible for this hit song based on music and sound effects from the Nintendo Game Boy version of Tetris:

And if you don't believe me, like Max didn't when I posted my H.G. Wells facts a few weeks back, you can check Wikipedia.
