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 1958 the popular music singer Michael Jackson was born. As well as his music Jackson was known for the sort of eccentricities one might expect a man surrounded by yes men and billions of dollars to pick up such as having a pet monkey and his own private fun fair. As well as these eccentricities came ones that were rather misunderstood like his addiction to plastic surgery and use of skin whitening cream and wigs (which was probably all kicked off after he suffered disfiguring burns during the filming of a pepsi advert) and reports that he would share his bedroom with the children of staff working at his "Neverland" ranch (which seems very dodgy until you know that the “bedroom” at Neverland was the size of several houses and had two floors). Jackson also was a huge fan of the British sitcom “Allo, Allo” and played the accordion in it's theme tune.

And now the news:

Now, gather round children this is what your grandparents, who were about 11 in 1991, thought was “epic” in those days:
