It doesn't matter to me if the Taj or the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel tower are called wonders or not - given a chance, I would still go and see 'em! and looks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa is not a wonder anymore. someone better tell those elves to stop holding it up and let it fall after all! ;-) couldn’t agree with you more!

These are the words of God to the whole human race: Exodus 20:4-5 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD [JEHOVAH] thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” (This is repeated in Deuteronomy 5:8-9) Romans 1:22-25 “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.” Christ my Redeemer

Santosh, congrats! I didn’t.

The great pyramids is not Only Egyptian. You can't argue the marvel of the structure. What Egypt was upset about, was the fact it had to be voted on. And what makes it even worse, it had to be voted on by people who know nothing about History and Architecture. It is sad, but this is a good article. The whole concept was plain STUPID Incredible.

It reminds me of nothing more than our rabid "my country right or wrong" proAmericana, and that's scary.

But for some reason, unknown to me, I watched the whole fucking show on NDTV ( yeah, it was so bad, I had use that word instead of frikking). Apparently there was some UN token figure who was going to come to the event.. the UN probably reprimanded him and locked in his office and so he 'his flight was delayed', and Ben Kingsley, who MUST find a better contact lens fitter , read the speech off the tele-prompter. I could not decide if that was the low point or Bipasha's obvious lack of acting skills as she faked surprise as she announced the Taj as the seventh wonder. It was just SO stupid and SO fake.
