Mentioned in the blue 5 years ago, new7wonders.com has been counting down until 07/07/07 when voting will close for the internet-and-phone-elected New Seven Wonders of the World. Check out the 21 finalists, see them on a [maptrot] map, or a goodlooking slideshow and vote. Only thirtyish days left! In the meantime, have a look at the old (latest: 140 BC) list, the American Society of Civil Engineering's list of the seven wonders of the modern world, or (for more obscurity) Wikipedia's list of Things Sometimes Labeled as the Eighth Wonder of the World. And if you want it all in one link, the complete listing of world wonders.

We need a Great Pyramid. I mean, come on, what is America's great constructional feat? The Empire State building? The Sears Tower? What relative pieces of shit. We need a pyramid to show we're at least as good as the Egyptians!
