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...

LIZ CLANCY: not sure what to call this post

On a trip to Akbar's wonderful restaurant in Manchester's Castlefield area the other day I found out that in a previous incarnation Jon Downes was a far-eastern god. Not sure which one but I make no apologies for being too busy eating to ask someone....

LIZ'S LOOKALIKES #3

Okey dokey, so the last picture was of a Biggles lookalike (and Ronan Coghlan's doppelganger, too, if we concur with Mr Downes's suggestion).

This person is perhaps more well known from the Fortean Times but they have written for us. Any ideas?

(CLUE: He spoke about the woman in black at last year's UnCon)

LIZ'S LOOKALIKES #2

Hello again, readers! See if you can guess who this is supposed to be without looking at the label for the post. For those of you who may not have twigged, the previous was the boss himself, Jon Downes.

Admittedly there are two foxes in this picture but they only look like one CFZ personality....

EDITOR'S NOTE: The one on the left looks a little like Ronan

SUB-EDITOR'S NOTE: All right, two CFZ personalities, then :)

LIZ'S LOOKALIKES #1

Trawling the internet at some ridiculous hour of the morning for interesting photos of monkeys (I am a terrible insomniac and huge monkey nut - like my word-play???), I happened upon the photo included with this blog and it got me thinking. So, beginning today, let me introduce you to a new bloggo series: Liz's Lookalikes.


Now, which CFZ high-ranking official does this little fellow remind you of most...?


P.S. That is an Emperor tamarin, allegedly named because his moustache looks a little like that of German Emperor Wilhelm II. The first stuffed specimen brought to Europe had the moustache put on upside down.
