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 1787 Paul 'Bus Stop' Fitch Jr designed the world's largest set of nested tables by adding a fourth table to encompass the existing three. It is not known if he secured the financial backing to physically construct any of his patented diagrams but the Science Museum in London made a replica of the 4 nest table out of string, plasticine and concrete and proved that it could, in theory, have worked. Fitch is well known for his inventive foresight having invented the bus stop long before the bus existed. Wells borough council bought 10,000 of the stops but sadly only 4 were ever made after supply issues forced Fitch to make them out of discarded elastic bands. Fitch was executed soon after the construction of the 4th bus stop when he was caught following a postman to collect up any elastic bands he dropped, which was at the time a capital offence.
