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...

DALE DRINNON: Giants/Benny's Blog/Tyler Stone


I have been having trouble with Blogger recently and it evidently stems from a general Gmail shutdown on Tuesday: My blogger account has not functioned properly the past several days and when I attempt to put up new blogs, both photos and text tends to disappear. I have however managed to get a blog posting in Frontiers of Anthropology to go through:

http://frontiers-of-anthropology.blogspot.com/2012/04/giants-in-ancient-warfare-adrienne.html

As noted it is a reprint from the Quarterly Journal of Military Technology and it may be taken down if the author objects. I thought it fit in very well with a topic we have been discussing on the blog for some time now (the use of giant warriors in warfare in Ancient times)

Benny has two more blogs up:
http://benny-drinnon.blogspot.com/2012/04/marie-wilson-and-my-friend-irma.html

http://benny-drinnon.blogspot.com/2012/04/hollywood-babylon-covergirl.html

And Tyler Stone has moved his Cryptozoology postings to a new blog
The New Zoology - A Global Study of Mystery Animals

Which (much as my label for Frontiers-of-Zoology) is meant to imply some more flexibility than just being a "Cryptozoology Blog" Tyler has been having some of the same technical problems as I have been having but his two most recent postings are:

http://cryptoanimals.blogspot.com/2012/04/neanderthals-eastern-bigfoot-and.html

http://cryptoanimals.blogspot.com/2012/04/neanderthals-eastern-bigfoot-and_15.html

With a third part to follow. I should mention that I recently posted an entry on the more "Human" type of Skunk Ape (as opposed to Apelike) and I was very much impressed how strongly some of the witness' drawings resembled the "Iceman"

Best Wishes, Dale D.

PS, I still am not getting all of my emails to come into my inbox yet and I have been cut off from my guest bloggers because of it.
