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

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

On this day in 2003 Mother Teresa was beatified by Pope John Paul II. Teresa was well known and respected during her lifetime for her humanitarian work among India’s poor but in order the be beatified by the catholic church you need to have at least one post mortem miracle ascribed to you, and this came in the disputed claim that an Indian woman’s tumour was healed by Teresa. The miracle was considered to be on quite shaky ground as the lady had been getting medical treatment at the time too but it was deemed good enough by the Vatican, possibly because of the pressure to fast-track their ‘spiritual celebrities’ to sainthood to make the Catholic church more relevant to the modern day as similar haste has been given to the beatification programs of John Paul II himself and the stigmatic Padre Pio.

And now the news:

Who, what, why: Why do deer cause more car crashes...
50 Years of Cereal Leaf Beetle Management Research...
The Giant, Prehistoric Squid That Ate Common Sense...
The Original Human Language Like Yoda Sounded
What, or who, is killing so many racehorses?
Two new frog species discovered in Australia
Critically Endangered Philippine eagle shot dead

FYI: they couldn’t use Mother Teresa’s famous appearance in a cinnamon bun as this happened before her death and Teresa had objected to the coffee shop where it was displayed profiteering from it:
