This is cool if you are a nerd like me (which you likely are, if you're reading this) They are having a world vote of the "new" 7 wonders of the world. All of the ancient 7 wonders except for one (the pyramids of Giza) are gone, so they are picking new ones. The winners will be announced in Lisbon on 7.7.07!! So anywho you can go to www.new7wonders.com and check out the new candidates, and even vote if you want to register. The list is interesting. Here are my picks, in no certain order: -The Moais of Easter Island, Chile- these are little heard of, but it is crazy. They found this island with all of these HUGE face-like statues, and they can only speculate how they were put up hundreds of years ago. Huge. - The Colosseum, Italy- because I'm going there and it's old and cool. - Stoneheng, UK- same reasons as the last 2- it's old, big, and no one knows how it got there. - Sydney Opera House- soooo cool - Statue of Christ the Redeemer in Brazil- because I've been there, it's an amazing place to go, and it's a cool statement to have Christ looking over a city in so much trouble and in so much need of Him - Macchu Picchu- Neruda said it all in his epic poem Heights of Macchu Picchu. I hope to visit someday. - Statue of Liberty- Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free; the wretched refuge of your teeming shores, send these, the homeless, tempest tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door. (I had to memorize that in 5th grade and I still remember it.) So let me have it. Criticize, agree, make snide remarks... i dare you. |
