People have been having fun with the new Google satellite maps. One blog has been going sightseeing via Google and has begun compiling some of the unusual views that the satellite images bring to some familar buildings and natural landmarks.

My big idea today was to buy popebenedict16.com and have it redirect to YesButNoButYes. Of course, somebody beat me to it.

And if you're thinking you'll wait out this papacy, then cash in on Pope John Paul III, you, too, are too late.

This morning Jellio alluded to K.C. Armstrong's mysterious disappearance from the Howard Stern Show. Here's speculation from the IMDB message boards, from the always reliable jim90291:

"i heard a rumor KC was fired over the goldenpalace.com fiasco. he claimed to have won 300,000 and then lost in within 2 weeks. it was radio fodder for a few days, but then they found out KC made the whole thing up - he had gotten paid to make it up and talk and talk and talk about the online casino. stern fired him, and won't mention it because (a) its would look bad to KC so they won't ruin his rep (if he had one), and (b) the casino was a sponsor of the show, so they wouldn't make them look bad either. but that's just a rumor. i probably shouldn't spread it w/out evidence, but whatever.."

I remember hearing that story on the show, and KC seemed to mention GoldenPalace.com way too much for it to be legit. I thought the Stern Show/Infinity Broadcasting was getting paid, though. Not just KC.

UPDATE - we now have an EXCLUSIVE interview with KC himself, where he tells us the TRUE story. Click here to read it.

Not that they need any help from me, but I just stumbled across this site...

New Pope! (My sources say it's Bob Kerrey.)

Last night I heard about yet another new reality show starring "B List" celebrities. It's called I Married A Princess and it stars Catherine Oxenberg (princess) and Caspar Van Dien (former starship trooper). This got me to thinking...soon, every marginally famous celebrity in America will have a tv show.

Thinking it might be fun to have a pool to guess which celebrity would be next, I googled the phrase "B List Celebrity" and found this...Hollywood is Calling, a site that offers personalized messages, birthday greetings, etc. from your favorite out of-work icon.

So, here's the idea. We adopt one of these stars as the Yesbut spokesman, tape a few messages about why this site is the coolest blog out there, and post them on Scara's audioblog section for people to listen to. I don't know about you guys, but I think it would be cool to have Leon Spinks or the professor from Gilligan's Island telling people why they should check us out. My personal vote is for Leon Spinks, or maybe KC Armstrong, and he could also record why he was kicked off the Stern show.

Thoughts?

There may be some duplicates in there because it all started to look the same after awhile. The funny thing is - you would have thought that the proposition - two girls instead of one - would turn out to be sexier, but I'm actually thinking I liked the first way more.
