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...

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday’s News Today




http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for the Friday Fact. Pray silence while I get out the Bumper Mammoth Boy’s Book of Necromancy and Fascinating Facts (or whatever I translated the title as, Thule can often change its phrasing according to very subtle points on the hieroglyphics so it is hard to get exact translations) and read out this weeks fact.

Before he gained fame as a pogo-ist, a Carry On actor, a leader of young boys in the art of ferret-tickling in castley fields and collector of ornate brass bedsteads, Charles Hawtrey (a known associate of the cast of Carry On Abroad) was a privateer/ pirate in the era of Queen Elizabeth I and was responsible for singeing the beard of the king of Spain on a number of occasions. Unfortunately Hawtrey had to give up this job as few people in the 20th century were able to understand how this was even possible as he was born in 1914.

And here is the news:

Fossil finds extend human story

Llamas cleared from Dublin M-way

World's biggest rodent spotted in Totteridge

It was just tottering along, apparently.
