webquests driving me crazy

Is it just me?  I am totally frustrated about the webquest topics.  I go to the examples and say oh that is terrific.  That looks like a nice, fun project for the kids to do, then I go to another and say wow that's very creative.  Then I sit and stare at the computer hoping that something hits me that will be as creative as the examples provided.  I am not teaching right now, and I think that if i were teaching, i might be able to come up with something in my current lesson plans that would be applicable.  I know Doc said we could use one of the ones from the examples, but I'm not sure what that means without being plagiaristic.  
I do like the idea of the webquest.  It seems like something that the kids would really get into and offers a different avenue for teaching and learning.  It is also something that can be used at all levels of education and would hold a students interest-way more than reading out of a book and answering questions.  
My quest for the perfect quest continues!
