It's retarted to let internet voters decide on the seven wonders. This is my prediction for the list: - statue of liberty - that statue of jesus (forgot the name, but it portrays jesus and i've seen it in movies) - mount rushmore - hollywood - the grand canyon - the eiffel tower (the one in las vegas, not paris) - the sears tower there, u have the 7 wonders of ame... i mean. 7 wonders of the world!

Sounds like the challenge is to figure out the criteria - e.g. if it's based on engineering feat in it's time, it'd be Pyramids & Stonehenge 1 & 2. But can't there be a moving wonder ? I Saw the space shuttle launch in 1996 - a night launch, from about 4 miles away across the water. I'd got a pass into the space center & driven up from Plantation overnight to watch. That has got to be the most impressive of the "works of man" that I thin I have ever seen. Once in a lifetime type of ever. I've seen about 4 or 5 of the places on the list & they can't compare - the most impressive thing about the Sydney Opera is the superb out of this world cafe on the terrace at the back - I SAt there having lamb in batter, with English beer, during the Olympics, watching the yachting in the harbor 75F light wind - awesome. But I've seen Nascar races, NHRA drag racing, Indy car & Superbikes - none of them can hold a candle to a shuttle launch :-) P.S. Hoping to visit Machu Picchu, Peru in a year or so.
