I thought this was interesting. Wondering which seven you guys would pick.
http://www.new7wonders.com/index.php
Here's how I see it:
1. Stonehenge
2. Easter Island Statues
3. Great Wall of China
4. Colosseum of Rome
5. Pyramids of Giza - Can't argue with a classic.
6. Taj Mahal
7. Acropolis of Athens

I'd vote for:
Pyramids of Giza
The Roman Colosseum
Stonehenge
The Great Wall of China
The Taj Mahal
The Eiffel Tower-for the ladies
The Kremlin and Red Square

I'm more partial to ancient stuff than modern.

I filled this out like 5 months ago and forgot all about it.
Man, Stonehenge is one of the most disappointing and terribly unimpressive things I've ever seen in my travels. Maybe the build up for it was too much but it wouldn't smack into my top 100 wonders of the world.
1) Pyramids at Giza - this should easily be everyones #1
2) The Acropolis
3) The Colosseum
4) The Great Wall
5) Angkor Wat
6) Taj Majal
7) Kremlin, Hagia Sophia or Machu Picchu here.

The Acropolis didn't make the orginal (ancient wonders list) which was just wonders located within the greek world.
