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.
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 took the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.

Yesterday I interviewed the lovely Carol
Hodge, aka Miss Crystal Grenade. Her music has been described as "Shakespeare's
Sister fighting Amanda Palmer and Tori Amos in a dimly lit Victorian pub. With
hand deformities." Her album comes out this autumn. Today is Mother's 84th
Birthday, and both Corinna and I are trying to find out what she would like to
do this evening. However, because she is so determined not to cause anyone any
trouble, she keeps on refusing to make a decision. It will probably end up being
a seafood restaurant in Westward Ho! Richard comes up tomorrow to collect
equipment for the next Sumatra expedition (he leaves on the 25th) which is all
very exciting.The Gonzo Track of the Day is from Patrick Moraz

* 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 two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) 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 cat?

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today
Yesterday’s News Today
On this
day in 1983 Pioneer 10 became the first man made object to leave the solar
system when it passed the orbit of Neptune. At the time this milestone passed
uncelebrated because this occurred before astronomers decided that Pluto and
other small post Neptune planets couldn't be planets after all because there
were more of them than they thought and they'd have to go through the bother of
having to learn loads of new planet names. Lazy astronomers.
And now
the news:
This
is not a planet, it's a dog:
