N7W

7-7-07 isn't just the most popular date for weddings of the past few decades. It's also the the date when the New 7 Wonders of the World are being announced. There are only ten hours left to vote, so if you plan to do so, better do it now. It could be the classicist in me, but I'm more a fan of the previous 7 Wonders (Great Pyramind of Giza; Hanging Gardens of Babylon; Temple of Artemis at Ephesus; Statue of Zeus at Olympia; Mausoleum of Maussollos at Helicarnassus; Colossus of Rhodes; Lighthouse of Alexandria). However, since only one of the originals still exists (Great Pyramid of Giza), here are my votes for the New 7 Wonders (note, you're not allowed to vote for the Great Pyramids -- they've already been designated official honorary members of the N7W ):

Roman Colosseum

Stonehenge

Taj Mahal
Great Wall of China

Chichen Itza

Neuschwanstein Castle

Statue of Liberty
