Does it appear that they mix natural and human-made wonders, or that
they went just for human-made things? -- Jeff, in Minneapolis

The Seven Wonders of America
1) Its a wonder our language is still called English. 2) Its a wonder we haven't killed each other yet. 3) Its a wonder the world still puts up with us. 4) We still wonder why people vote for either political party. 5) Its a wonder that we haven't kicked California out of the Union. 6) Same for Texas... 7) Its a wonder that so many people in the world whine about everything we do, yet when the excrement hits the fan, we're the ones still expected to cough up the most help...

Don't forget Stevie Wonder, and Wonder Woman. And Wonder Bread.

Thank you Mike, I can always count on at least you to think along the same lines as me.

I have a strange feeling about this... Deja vu. I recall seeing a website
several years ago with a long line of square thumbnail images of candidates for the list of "Seven Wonders of ..." wherever it was. I think visitors to the page could vote. All I remember is that I looked at a few of the enlarged pictures, and I didn't vote. Seems to me it might have been "Seven Wonders of the Modern World", but included the Egyptian pyramids (since, unlike the other ancient wonders, they still exist), and I found out about the website from a link right here on BAUT. -- Jeff, in Minneapolis
