Interesting lists

Here are some other Wonders of The World (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Wonders_of_the_World) (including the first 7)

[Rocketpig]

I don't understand why I'm not on that list.

[TheBluePanda]

All of them are wonders in my book.

[Logo-Mechanix]

Hey how come beer is not on that list? We should start a petition to have it added.

[Neballer]

I don't understand why I'm not on that list.
I don't either. :p

[Drorain]

No 'Great Mushroom'...Or the 'Largest Teabag' in the world? Surely these out-wonder all wonders of the world. This list is Dookie...not even the Golden Tit of the Massachusetts Capital Building is on there...This list is Dookie indeed

[Neballer]

so what you're sayin Dro is that you're pissed that this (http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/MNDARtwine.html) didn't make the list. :D

[Drorain]

Nebs Thats exactly what I'm talking about...that town has balls...I mean damn I dont think even the Sphinx has balls!

[cjoe]

aren't the giza pyramids already on the old list?

[Russian girl]

Kremlin / St. Basil - Moscow, Russia of course, it is beautiful:)

[danedawg99]

oh wow. how do they keep those colors so vibrant? :eek:

[Russian girl]

you like that?;)

i have no idea how they do that though but it doesn't change a fact it looks gorgeous:p

[LeftBrain Artist]

Darn. Now I wont be able to get that tetris music out of my head for the rest of the day.

I think Las Vegas should be the new, single wonder of the world. Its got everything from the list, full scale or bigger and decked out in tacky neon lights. And there's a foreigner on every corner slapping porn into your chest as you walk around, no matter who you are or who you're with. You could be an 8-year old boyscout walking around with your grandparents and, BAM BAM BAM, you've all got ads for the six o'clock sex show featuring Candee and Brandee. And there's a dancing fountain.

[greyghost]

I'm guessing the Kremlin has to have some vibrant color as the rest of the country is blanketed in snow so much - by putting color on the Kremlin, it would lift people's spirits just to see something bright.

I've never been to Russia tho. The closest I came was the Czech Republic, and I didn't see gobs of color there save in all the glass they sell.

[PersonasBinar]

It's where Russian taggers are gulagged and made to paint the colours every week. Amazing place.

[TheBluePanda]

I'd hate to be impaled by those towers.

[danedawg99]

I'd hate to be impaled by those towers.


between thee, i and the fence post, I'd hate to be impaled by anything. But whatever floats your boat, I guess... :p

[LeftBrain Artist]

oh wow. how do they keep those colors so vibrant? :eek:

C'mon guys, don't tell me none of you ever heard Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation. I'd say about +20 on the saturation slider, plus a fresh coat of Dutch Boy paint.

[Russian girl]

Darn. Now I wont be able to get that tetris music out of my head for the rest of the day.
Hahahahah...this is what i am laughing my ass off about..WHY tetris music..:P?

[LeeIs]

what? no one is sharing their choices?

For me:

Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
Taj Mahal, India
Stonehenge, UK
Great Wall, China
Acropolis, Greece
Angkor, Cambodia
machu Picchu, Peru


The Great Pyramids deserve to be on both the old and the new 7 lists IMO.

Edit: I didn't vote either, just sharing which ones I think should make it. :)

[ironhorse23]

I vote for CN Tower

[JPnyc]

I didn't see Jennifer L. Hewitt's name there.
