How do you get rid of something you placed on Google Earth?
As you open KML feeds new placemarks are often added to your saved places panel. Over time you may end up with 100's or 1000's of places and overlays often crowding the map. These can be deleted (right-mouse click and select Delete) or unchecked to hide.
Note in many cases the saved places is the full KML content for the resource and not simply a "bookmark" or network link to the file on the network so the saved places file can get rather large. This slows down starting and closing Google Earth.

Can you view real time satellite imagery on your PC?
Have you seen Google Earth? Its fairly "fresh". I'm told that if you want it better than that you can contact them at the recommended links and ask for a quote on the "real" commercial satellite imagery (the other one is free). You could also talk to our own ISRO & its other sister organisations who work similarly. You'll have to trawl the web by yourself though.

52°22'35.5872" N, 5°11'53.890" E
zoom in a lot on the exact location and you will see. there is what appears to be a bloody trail.
this is actually believed to be false. It wasn't noticed until some time after the satellite image was taken. The Dutch police say that even if it was real, there wouldn't be enough evidence left to investigate.
