How's this site for a new jewel? PROFANITY.KMZ (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02/09/profanity.kmz)

Looks like the aliens are getting a little sloppy with their crop circles.

What's up with the hair on the lens?

First post will tell you my rules for what will qualify as a suitable jewel location.

New Jewels are coming, when coders get me the script to edit and add jewel locations expect jewel locations to change. I have over 100 already waiting to spice up the jeweling again.

I will add that Profanity will auto be rejected this game is played by 8 year olds.

How do you get Hair on the lens of a digital satellite photo?!?

That is an odd little find there.

if you found that you have too much time on your hands

Ummm, how exactly did you find this?

Things like this can be found at Google Earth Hacks (http://www.googleearthhacks.com/), Google Earth Community (http://bbs.keyhole.com/)

Note: Not all photos are from satellites, some (most?) are from aerial photographs (taken be aeroplanes/helicopters/other flying things)

I've heard that only 35-40% of the surface of googleearth is mapped with the use of sattelites, but that seems a little low?

I'm not too sure, but I'd assume that most of the low-res shots are taken be satellite and all the high-re with aerial photography

Actually this was posted on Digg.com. I just thought it was humorous.

another good source of potential jewel sights might be some of the posts that come from www.googlesightseeing.com - lots of things to choose from.

Recent entries include the reference to Eddie above, but also include Oil Rigs, flying aircraft, flying cars, lots and lots of samples of text/crop circles and look out for the rather bizarre UFOs arranged in a very neat grid across the whole of the continental united states.
