    Arrow The New 7 Wonders

    As you know, during the past months people have been choosing the New 7 Wonders by casting their votes online.
    The details on how to vote it and the voting list can be found at the official site: http://www.new7wonders.com/index.php and additional info can be found here

    The results will be announced in the next hours, so hurry up and vote if you haven't done it yet.

    The only one I've had the chance to see so far is the Alhambra Palace, a trully beautiful complex of monuments surrounded by woods located in Granada, Spain.
    For those of you interested in knowing more about the Alhambra, a virtual 3D walk is available here

    Yeah just a heads up, that IS the Disneyland Castle. Compare them side by side. My German teacher told us all about last year.

    No, Sleeping Beauty's Castle, a structure which can be found in Disneyland® Park and Disneyland Hong Kong, was BASED on [Neuschwanstein Castle].

    Just because your German teacher was a 6'5" imposing figure of cattle-yanking flesh, doesn't mean you should believe her.
    Or maybe you wasn't listening in class.

    Because giant phallic symbols always attract attention.

    Oh, and my bed and/or penis should be on the list.

    That thing gets more visitors than all the other wonders put together.

    Plus I'd like to see the pyramids leave a load on your face.

    Or the colloseum give you orgasms so hard you pass out.

    In your face king kong!

    Nope. It was a dude. from Germany. Not an american.(that's what I got from Cattle yanker sorry if I misunderstood) And no, not Sleeping Beauty's castle. I'm takling about the main one. When the movie starts and it's blue with the white castle that the rainbowish thing is aound. Try wikipedia or something. Though he didn't teach us much german, he taught us alot of other useless info.

    What shit. :/ None of those are wonders. It's not wondrous just because it's a big or cool looking building. It has to be a major achievement, something stupendously amazing to create, like the world's tallest building. Fuck this "New 7 wonders" shit, it's retarded.
    As I was walking down the stair,
    I met a man who wasn't there.
    He wasn't there again today.
    I wish, I wish he'd go away.

    The world's tallest building doesn't impress me, frankly.

    Those monuments are the shit as far as I'm concerned. Just try to recreate any, and you'll see why. You need to keep in mind that most of those were built way the fuck back when cranes/whatever weren't available.
