			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, my excuse is that I have yet to participate in a "meme" yet (despite being tagged by several).</p>
<p>The infamous Rick MacPherson of <a href="http://coralnotesfromthefield.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Malaria, Bedbugs, Sea Lice &amp; Sunsets</a> came up with <a href="http://coralnotesfromthefield.blogspot.com/2009/02/google-search-meme.html" target="_blank">his own little game</a> wherein he determined a set of search terms that would result in his own blog ranking as the top hit (such as "coral reefs, conservation, queer" and "zelnio, conservation, blog, coral, drunk").</p>
<p>The exercise ended up being more entertaining than I anticipated. My goal was to find the most entertaining or impressive search terms.</p>
<p>In no particular order, here are some search terms that will give you <a href="http://biochemicalsoul.com">Biochemical Soul</a> as the #1 Google search hit (no quotes or advanced googling were used):</p>
<ul>
<li>andrew kevin dueling penises (that explains some of my traffic - it's totally invertebrate biology-related - I swear)</li>
<li>miriam oyster orgies (also invertebrate biology-related)</li>
<li>magnum p.i. blue whale</li>
<li>daniel darwin beard</li>
<li>timber rattlesnake camouflage</li>
<li>flatfish eye adaptation</li>
<li>aye-aye finger adaptation</li>
<li>spaghetti monster animation</li>
<li>heron catfish video</li>
<li>daniel d brown ("daniel brown" doesn't pull this blog until results page 2)</li>
</ul>
<p>Interestingly, I almost capture the the entire history of heart evolution - pretty sweet:</p>
<ul>
<li>worm heart evolution (2nd behind a "pet heart-worm" site)</li>
<li>fly heart evolution</li>
<li>fish heart evolution</li>
<li>frog heart evolution</li>
<li>reptile heart evolution</li>
<li>bird heart evolution (#2 search result)</li>
<li>mammal heart evolution</li>
<li>human heart evolution (page 2 of results)</li>
</ul>
<p>How about it <a href="http://observationsofanerd.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Christie</a>, <a href="http://deepseanews.com/" target="_blank">Kevin</a>, <a href="http://ohfortheloveofscience.com/" target="_blank">Allie</a>, <a href="http://urban-science.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">DNLee</a>, <a href="http://glendonmellow.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Glendon</a>? Care to give it a go?</p>
