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...

RONAN IS A SPECTACULARLY STRANGE FELLOW (But we knew that anyway)

THE SERMONS OF THE REVEREND JONATHAN DOWNES, D.D.

Sermon One

My dear people,

The Lord sends us sweet refreshing rain from his throne on high and it's getting through the church roof.

Therefore, much as it pains me to ask for money, I am constrained by circumstance to do so. You may notice a man with a large club standing by the church door. Nobody gets out without forking out at least a fiver for the Church Roof Restoration Fund.

On Friday the pews were so damp that the cleaning lady, Mrs Furble, took twice as long to clean them. She then approached me and broached the subject of Time and a Half. I fear some contentious words followed, but I feel there was no need, Mrs Furble, to poke me in the eye with your mop.

However, I regret that I then seized your mop and stuck it where I stuck it. Happily the nice people at the hospital were able to get it out again.

Have your fivers ready as you leave the Church. The Lord go with you.
