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.
Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...

The bit from h2g2 was written by me. I had forgotten about it.
The full thing is here :

I didn't even know h2g2 still had my stuff as it was taken over by someone else. I get everywhere don't I ? :-)
I had a look at the sub last year and was impressed. One thing I noticed was that it doesn't have any lights, so he wouldn't have seen much below 30 feet.
Jon will know that the Beatles song was on the flip side of Eleanor Rigby which came out three years earlier in August 66, so was not influenced by Viperfish. The design of the sub does however bear a striking resemblance to the record sleeve. Odd that.
