What are the 7 Wonders of the World?
I don't have the answers, but I'm wondering if anyone knows because I'd like to know.
I only know that 1 of the Wonders is:
The rocks, where they are standing on one another like a door way, but how did they get there? They are huge and nothing is that strong that it could lift them. It remains a mystery and will forever.

Are you talking about Stone Henge? I live very near there. What's really weird is that the stone was quarried in Wales, which is a long way away from there.
The ones I know are: The Pyramids, The Great Wall of China, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. I think these might be: The Colossus of Rhodes, The Lighthouse (of somewhere, a really old one), The Colliseum (sp?), The Sphinx. Can't think of any others right now. I remember a load of wonders from Civilisation (the game) but I don't know which ones were actually the 7 wonders of the ancient world.

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World are:
- The Pyramids of Giza
- The Hanging Gardens
- The Temple of Artemis
- The Statue of Zeus
- The Mausoleum
- The Colossus of Rhodes
- The Lighthouse of Alexandria
It´s not me, The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World are a list made by the Greeks and Romans of particularly remarkable, man-made structures.

The Guinnes world of records, which was a museum, I think it was in the Trocadero(in Picadilly Circus) But I'm not sure if it's still there, had an exhibit of the 7 wonders of the modern world some time in the 80s, Steve Davis was one of them, so was Michael Jackson.

In answer to Lains question:
Well, I'm 5 of them, I don't know about the rest!
But seriously, there are about 17 million defferent lists of wonders of the modern world, people make them up all the time, so why don't we make a VB World list of the seven wonders? My proposed list:
1:Me
2:Me to
3:Me also
4:Me as well
5:Guess who
6:The whole of Sydney
7:Me again

If your are a classic wrestling fan, which I am not, I get my hair cut a saloon that is owned by Tito Santana. He doesn't cut hair, he just has a bunch of hotties doing the work for him. It is located in Northern New Jersey.
