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...

THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN JUMPS IN THE AIR

The Gonzo Daily - Friday
 
We truly are living in very strange times. This week an American God botherer claimed that the world was going to end, and various political pundits including some surprisingly heavy weight ones were suggesting that Russia’s involvement in the Syrian conflict, and the rumoured advent of Chinese military action in the area was heralding a new World War.
 
There have been changes with this issue of Gonzo Weekly (out tomorrow) and there will be more changes in the future. I hope that you like the advent of Paul “Mr Biffo” Rose and Mack Malloney as regular contributors. We are planning to start streaming another philosophically fortean radio show, this one presented by my old mate Richard Freeman, via Gonzo web radio in the next few issues. There are other things in the pipeline, and whilst not all of my plans will come to fruition, I am sure of that, I am sure that some of them will. And assuming that the world doesn’t come to an end and that World War three does not burst upon us like avenging furies of Ancient Greece then I am sure that this magazine will only get bigger and better.
