A year or so ago I had an idea and some pics to start a humor site about a common every day nuisance. I did a whois and the name I had in mind was available but I had a problem getting the transaction to go through. I got busy and it was the following morning when I tried again.
To my surprise I found out the name had been registered the night before and the only thing that ever appeared on the site was simply a page soliciting others to send in pics and stories of the kind I had ready to go (which apparently they never did).
This thread inspired me to check it again and guess what, it's now parked at GoDaddy
