    What about Mt. Rushmore?


    Mt. Rushmore is one of my favorites but when one considers Mt. Rushmore will fit on the face of the Crazy Horse sculpture the size of Crazy Horse gets put into perspective.

    Okie: Looking at the pic..can you use your car's EZ-pass at that Mcdonald's?

    Sidenote: ref. the A-bomb photo.
    Codenames "little boy" and "fat man" for the nuclear bombs were taken from Maltese Falcon, which was playing at the time. Neat. [Oppenheimer interview]

    I call Bullsh-t on this one. Just off the top of my head, here are some contenders:

    1. Mt. Rushmore
    2. Twin Towers
    3. Empire State Building
    4. Sears Tower
    5. Mighty Mac
    6. Hoover Dam

    I once heard that the crapier the country, the longer the national anthem.

    So, here's the choice: Live in Iraq, which has a "wonder of the world", or live in America. Hmmm......

    For over 43 years, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel has captured worldwide attention as a modern engineering wonder and an important East Coast travel convenience. Crossing over and under open waters where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean, the Bridge-Tunnel provides a direct link between Southeastern Virginia and the Delmarva Peninsula (Delaware plus the Eastern Shore counties in Maryland and Virginia), and cuts 95 miles from the journey between Virginia Beach and points north of Wilmington, Delaware.

    Following its opening on April 15, 1964, the Bridge-Tunnel was selected "One of the Seven Engineering Wonders of the Modern World" in a worldwide competition that included more than one hundred major projects. In addition, in 1965, it was distinguished as "The Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement" by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

    We have wonders ofF the world.

    US flags and moon buggies+ descent stages left on the moon, rovers on mars, etc.

    Not to mention by far the most stuff in Orbit, and the ISS is mainly US funded.

    We keep our wonders where its hard for them to be blown up...
