INSPIRED BY WOOLSERY WEIRDO

I have been re-inspired to write, look up and feel part of something by a man I met by accident. I was talking to your local pastry kitchen about what goes on down the hall when Stuart told me about Weird Weekend. I then went online and saw that the CFZ were looking for helpers so I went along, feeling a bit anxious when a meet a man called Jon who looks a bit like Giant Haystacks. A posh hippie, he told me about the CFZ and its projects with passion. I then began to think to myself: hey, give things a try just for yourself and if others like it, it will be a bonus. So thank you, Jon.

WORLD'S END, OR NOT?

Clever computers link up and develop an evil intelligence. A man-made superbug escapes form a lab with no known anti-dote. Global warming accelerates past tipping point. Wars caused by overpopuliation. A huge asteroid hits earth and wipes us out like the dinosaurs. Cyber attacks bring all computers down, leading to society's breakdown. Food supply sabotage sparks riots. Killer virus mutated from animals spreading. Nuclear annihilation following a war from a rogue nation/state/terrorists. So just cosy up to your nearest and dearest and wait.

GRIEF TURNS SOUR FOR EX-ESSEX WEIRDO

I am writing this account to get the experience of my Dad's funeral some airing; to just give my view. It started the night before as I stayed overnight at my sister Nicky's home; she seemed not to make an effort when I tried to talk. Next morning I got suited and booted for the day. As I went to get into the car she asked if I had had breakfast but I had not. Anyway, further on in the trip we had to stop so that one of my nephews could swap due to my niece not able to drive on the motorway. Nicky then got out of the car. Her husband was bemused and got out after 10 mins she came back to our car. No-one talked until we got to Essex, when the funeral car was getting ready. When Nicky got into our old family home she was rude and abrupt with Mum about why the car was outside. Then she left. She then came back to sit in funeral car where due to my movements I accidentally knocked her arm whereupon she shouted at me to not touch her. On the journey to the service this made me fell uneasy. She also brought from her car my bag of clothes and stuff, which I had to carry into the service. At the last part of the service my sister reached over me completely to hold my other sister's hand. At the wake she blanked me and Mum. I felt as welcome as a black man at a Ku Klux Klan meeting. Anyway, this carried on the whole way home; she has not made any contact with my Mum since and I don't like being treated like shit so I have made no effort. Yes. you can say she was grieving but I think this was how she truly felt.

IS IT REAL?

Well, how do we suspend our beliefs whilst watching television, film or plays. Actors make us seem to think we know the people they portray. From ancient times Greek plays, for example, all subjects boiled down to comedy and tragedy. Like with religion, we can't prove the stories told in their various books or aliens or unknown creatures or ghosts. We suspend.

A school in Botswana was forced to close after pupils reported sighting a small hairy humanoid creature.

The bizarre series of events started around 12 noon when a number of students reported 'a black little hairy creature which resembled a human being.' While none of the teachers saw anything, the sighting caused mass panic among the pupils. Some of the children were so convinced by what they'd witnessed that as many as 10 ended up being treated for shock at a local clinic.

"We will be holding prayers in the school soon after meeting parents and chiefs but for now we had asked for professional councillors to help," said regional eduction director Acro Maseko. One of the teachers put the incident down to mass hysteria induced by the stresses of upcoming exams.

Teachers at Mathiba Primary School in Maun had to abruptly end classes last week Friday after students reported seeing a hairy little creature.

The Strange-ness -- Local Bigfoot Sightings

While the Finding Bigfoot show on Animal Planet focused on Bigfoot sightings in Western NC, did you know that Eastern NC residents have seen bigfoot too? Bigfoot reports indicate the creature also walks the Eastern NC woods.

In Johnston County, only one sighting has ever been reported. Two witness saw a bear-like figure with long arms in July 2002. Greene County residents reported hearing, not seeing, a strange animal.read on

CRYPTOZOOLOGY, ODDITIES Chupacabra in the news in New Jersey and Texas

There has been a strange sighting of a strange creature in a suburban New Jersey town – and pictures of it have residents asking “What the heck is that?”
“I saw a strange animal in the front yard,” witness Rob Lyons said.
Lyons had the presence of mind to shoot a picture of the creature on his smartphone.
“It was too small to be a coyote. Definitely not a dog. Might be a cat. Prances like a cat. It was weird,” Lyons said.
NO one has a CLUE? Really? Clue one: it looks like a canid – dog, coyote or fox. The guesses in this piece are absolutely stupid. But the last line gets to the facts – a canid with mange.
This report of the same Ridgeway animal is no better but also manages to hide the logical explanation at the end.
Another chupa story came out of Texas and TOPPED THE NEWS. Seriously!? This is top news?
Topping our news tonight, the possible discovery of the mysterious Chupacabra in the Coastal Bend. The animal was first seen in thick brush a few miles northeast of Falfurrias about a month ago.
The homeowner thinks it was in the area looking for food. One photo shows an encounter with a cat that didn’t seem too scared, yet was not happy to see the strange animal lurking around.read on
