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...

POLITICS: An important news item

http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/politics/politics-headlines/clegg-put-in-charge-of-the-paranormal-2012092542375

NICK Clegg has denied being sidelined by the government after becoming Minister for Paranormal Investigations.

Clegg's new role will involve travelling around the UK investigating ghosts, UFOs and `cryptoozoological animals' including owl men and talking polecats.

Clegg said: "I will continue to play a full and active role in Westminster politics, albeit from a field in Cornwall while searching for a stray panther.

"My coalition colleagues have been 110% behind me, providing me with a complete paranormal detection kit including an old Ford Transit, a video camera and an electrician's voltmeter.

"They even gave me a proton pack for capturing ghosts, which is categorically not just a vacuum cleaner with a laser pointer sellotaped to the nozzle. Luckily I will be working alone, so there is no danger of crossing the beams.

"Cynics would argue that the paranormal is completely made up. But that's exactly what they said to Fox Mulder.

"I showed Vince Cable a picture of some `orbs' and he was most impressed."

Political analyst Nikki Hollis said: "Initially I thought this was a ploy to reduce Nick Clegg's influence on British politics. Then I remembered he has no influence on British politics."

Clegg announced his new role at the Liberal Democrat conference in Brighton, where delegates responded by staring at his very attractive wife.
