what are the current 7 wonders?

Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Collossus of Rhodes
Pyramids at Giza
Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
Lighthouse of Alexandria
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
Statue of Zeus at Olympia

Note that only one of these is still extant today.

I voted for:

Stonehenge
Angkor Wat
Easter Island megaliths
Great Wall of China
Machu Pichu
Petra
Sydney Opera House

I would have gone out of my way to vote for the continuation of the Pyramids at Giza, except they have been given an honorary place on the list already, and have been removed from voting, instead of the Opera House. I voted for the SOH because it's a triumph of design and stupidity over sound engineering. Someone had the silly idea that the shape of the outside should actually reflect its real structural form. It would have been a lot easier to make it look the same on the outside, but be structurally conventional underneath. But they thought the inside should be the same shape as the outside. Aesthetics over reason. So as a result it was much harder to make the damn thing stand up, and it took much longer to build it (and to figure out how to build it).
