POLITICS: beliefs in aliens and other conspiracies

"Survey shows Republicans more likely to believe that aliens crashed in Roswell, shape-shifting reptilian people run the world," runs the headline.

Interestingly, it seems that close to 60% of GOP voters believe global warming is a hoax compared to 23% of Democrats.

And as for Bigfoot and those shape-shifters?

TODAY'S BIG CAT NEWS ROUNDUP

The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we should have a go at publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in. In September 2012 Emma Osborne decided that the Mystery Cat Study Group really deserved a blog of its own within the CFZ Blog Network.

NATURAL WORLD: Grasshopper is a shadow of his future self?

A bright green grasshopper emerges from its old skin, leaving a perfect replica of itself behind.

Photographer Adhi Prayoga, 41, watched the transformation in his back garden in Indonesia and caught the moment on camera when a grasshopper shed its old skin, leaving behind a perfect replica of itself.

THE GONZO BLOG DOO DAH MAN IS ON AN ANABASIS



Graham here, with today's updates. I've more or less recovered from seeing Hawkwind play in Seaton the other night, and the post-gig hissing in my ears has almost gone. I won't be seeing 'em again til August, now.

Jon and Corinna are still away, currently traversing the English midlands this sunny but rather cold Wednesday lunchtime, so I've looked "anabasis" up in the dictionary and then completed the Gonzo updates.

Which are:

Prog band Zenit's new album "The Chandrasekhar Limit" reviewed by Gary Brown.

A newslink on Stephen Stills' upcoming album

Today's Gonzo Track of the Day is from Gong - "Oily Way"
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/gonzo-track-of-day-gongs-oily-way.html


*  The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at  jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...

*  The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and a not very small orange kitten (who isn't) puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cats?

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES

In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out of place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in. So after about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo Corinna has taken the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today


Yesterday’s News Today
http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

On this day in 1924 Peter Hawkins was born. Hawkins was an actor best known for his fantastic voice over work and has a vast list of credits including the Daleks and Cybermen from Doctor Who, Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men, Penfold from Danger Mouse, Zippy from Rainbow, Big Ears in Noddy, the Narrators in Superted and Jimbo and the Jet Set, and provided ALL the voices for the Adventures of Tintin, the Family Ness and Captain Pugwash.

He also spawned Silas Hawkins who inherited his father's acting talent and has appeared at many CFZ Weird Weekends bringing a diverse range of characters back to life including Charles Fort and most famously P.T. Barnum.

And now the news:
