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/

On this day in 1972 Henry Carrington beat Reg Ableforth and Anson Kibbles in the longest ever three way game of Sloigs on record. The game lasted 37 years in total and Carrington’s victory was not only shocking because he was a novice player of Sloigs but because he died twenty years before the game’s conclusion. Carrington’s death went unnoticed in part due to the fact that Sloigs is traditionally played in freezer rooms, because the Clurbs have to be kept below freezing point, and because he was always a quiet, thoughtful type who would take a long time to make his moves it was suspected that he was engaging in psychological warfare with his opponents by not moving for twenty years.
And now the news:

Freezing lemur found on UK common
Japanese tsunami fund 'used for whaling programme'...
Polar bear 'cannibalism' pictured
Savage cruelty towards a mother Brown bear with tw...
Snow leopards photographed in Siberia for the firs...
The Monster of Mount George

True aficionados of Sloigs will be familiar with the official anthem of the sport which has been used to open all official games since 1987:
