CFZ PUBLISHING GROUP REVIEWS IN 'MAGONIA'

DALE DRINNON: Frontiers of Anthropology/Benny's Blog

My Yahoo email account has been compromised and was closed to me earlier this morning: I suspect the Gmail has been compromised as well, I am only getting a very few messages in there. Currently I have access to both accounts but I cannot say how long it shall last. I have changed the passwords to both accounts, the second time in two weeks.

Currently at Frontiers of Anthropology I have commentary from an allied Blog Owner concerning the recent articles added on the blog concerning Human Giants:

Benny's blog has a piece on Harpo Marx and the unique Classification he had of Actresses working on the movies in his time:

Currently Blogger is not responding well to me and I shall be unable to finish any of the currently outstanding Blogs until the problems are resolved.

Please be aware that attempts to reach me by my regular email accounts could fail while the problem is on. I also recently detected hacker activity at my Facebook account and changed my password there. When I had that account fixed, the trouble on the other accounts took over.

I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

It is Thursday and I am running mildly late. However, today's bloggystuff includes some really exciting stuff, although I am afraid there are no pictures of Graham posing in a garden centre for you today.

First up, Jon interviews Liz Lenten, mainperson of 'Auburn' who have just done a smashing new album which presses all the right buttons as far as we are concerned:

HAS CFZ-NZ DEISCOVERED A NEW SPECIES OF INSECT?

Jon,

That species of fly I posted on my Facebook yesterday, I got an e-mail this morning regarding my enquiries to the entomologist At the Department of Conservation is not sure but it may be a new species and they want to examine the specimen.

Quite exciting, the New Zealand CFZ may have discovered a new species of fly or a hereto unknown immigrant.

I shall keep you informed.

As Lars said in his reply(*) it does have a fungal infection but the veins on the wings match an unusual species.

Take care

Tony

(*) Lars Thomas I cant identify the fly for you, I am not familiar with NZ flies, but the poor thing has a severe fungus infection, thats the reason for the white stripes in between the dark ones. His abdomen (It looks like a he because of the big eyes) is swollen with fungus threads, pressing on the outer plates and even sticking out here and there.

GLEN VAUDREY: 1946 Mystery Animal

Today for a mystery animal to make it into the media it has to be a beast, and not just any beast but the beast of somewhere. The culprit is usually described as a big cat and a danger to livestock and children, but back in 1946 mystery animals were a bit softer as this piece from the Essex Newsman Herald highlights.
