   It’s always great to look at these.  My favourite search that got someone to my blog was

   please help me! i’m being hunted by a government agency that doesn’t exist.

   Really; I’m not making that up.

   Of course, now that I’ve posted this comment, the next time that guy does a search, guess where he’ll end up….

   You’d think my favorite would be “I hate white people” neh.  But I really want to know about the snail sex.  Do I need to send out the monkeys, or will you fess up here and now?

   Monkeys, please.

   All I know is, if you google “Zeke dog”, the third hit is CRN. Specifically, the Three Standard Conversations, which I often reread just because they are so true.

   I hope you’ve stocked up on bananas.

   [launches Googling monkeys….chris clarke snail sex…]  (Just in case you weren’t a high enough hit…)

   I believe the monkeys will find that I was remarkably prescient.

   I guess those hairy legs & butts people must be pretty disappointed.
   Unless I missed a post.

   I think the most dramatic search phrase so far that led to my site has been “what do you do horse heart attack”

   man, i could almost see the man hunched over his monitor on that one, can’t say i liked the image of him coming to my site and wasting time.

   i think i should write a post on a ‘Tree Octopus” and see what sorts drop by.

    At least one of your top ten isn’t “wheel rut filling techniques.” Now that’s a blow ;-).

    I have really boring results because I don’t write anymore, but I’m on the second page of results for “analogy story”.  I find that anywhere from moderately to totally cool.

    I’ve found some creepy ones fitting the ‘they looked for misogyny, they found feminism’ category, too, but today’s search terms are kind of awesome:

    the secret narcissism
    loosener of limbs with his venom
    theriomorph
    acts of randomness
    the office of the honorable al gore
    running into brick walls
