The New Seven Wonders

Above is a picture of the pyramids of Giza, the last remaining of the Seven Wonders of the (Ancient) World. Still pretty breathtaking, if you ask me.

Now a search is underway for the NEXT Seven Wonders of the World. Presumably Sterculian Rhetoric's thesaurus just missed the cut.

Here are the nominees (pictured are ones I think deserve consideration):

(1) Coliseum, Italy - Sure, half of it has fallen in. This damn thing held 50,000 people!!!!

(2) Taj Mahal, India - Gee, it's WHITE. Next.

(3) Timbuktu, Mali - Yawn.

(4) Great Wall, China - Can be seen from SPACE. Instant entry on this list.


(5) Pyramid of Chichen Itza, Mexico - Maybe. It might be number seven...I can't decide. I mean, it's in MEXICO.

(6) Kiyomizu Temple, Japan - No paper castles can make the list. The waterfalls are cool, though.

(7) Angkor, Cambodia - It's almost a SWAMP, for God's sake. When these people learn to read and write, then we'll make THAT a seventh wonder.

(8) Eiffel Tower, France - The world's prettiest artificial phallus.


(9) Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany - Nominate Auschwitz before THIS. It inspired Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyworld. Nuff said.

(10) Sydney Opera House, Australia- It looks like some sort of bug. Interesting architecture, but a SEVEN WONDER? The only amazing thing about the place is the fact that anybody goes there and listens to opera.

(11) Hagia Sophia, Turkey - It sounds more like a Scottish dish than a Seven Wonder. It's just like the Taj Mahal. Nominate THAT instead of this.

(12) Machu Picchu, Peru - I thought this was a board game. This might make it because it stands into the clouds at 8000 feet above sea level.

(13) Stonehenge, Britain - The world's first Lego set. What were they thinking?


(14) Petra, Jordan - Cool church built right into a mountain. You've seen it in dozens of movies masquerading as an alien building.

(15) Alhambra, Spain - An overrated villa.

(16) Christ the Redeemer, Brazil - Statue as comment on global religious fascism. Pretty amazing, though.

(17) Acropolis, Greece - Iconic.

(18) Easter Island, Chile - Everybody likes a giant dose of head.


(19) Statue of Liberty, USA - Probably the best known symbol in the world. I really like America's decision to incorporate burning twin buildings behind it, to really emphasize freedom.I am surprised that the St. Louis Arch was not among the nominees due to its unique and complicated design. Maybe I'm just prejudiced. I just think it's telling that most of the wonders nominated are hundreds or thousands of years old already. We think we have such a progressive society, but in reality we haven't accomplished too much more (architecturally) than our ancestors.

What do you think? What would be your choices for Seven Wonders of the World?

P.S. Please do not say "my cock," or in the case of Scorpio, "my cunt." You probably do not have the most impressive genitalia for your household, let alone gender or planet.

My testicles. They can be two of the seven. Although I personally have more of a liking for the left one.

Wooz, I wasn't referring to YOURS. Black guys all have impressive junk.

If you must use me in every post and comment, why not do so with a little creative flair, as opposed to creative license?

You've never witnessed me claiming to be a feminist, and you've never seen me use the word "cunt".

I'm sure you can do better. After all, you Googled the answer to Sterculian's brain teaser faster than anyone else.

Well played, my friend.
Though scorpio is forbidden to say "my cunt", may I say it?
I have been to numbers 1,2,5,7,8,9,12,13 and 15. I've not seen the Statue of Liberty though, with or without the towers. I'm always drunk when I'm there.
Angkor Wat is good, I am not often serious but it is good! Besides you can get a 16 year old girl for two bucks American in Cambodia! Five if you want them clean.
Machu Picchu is great simply because you can chew coca and it's legal! BP

A lot of them bore me...
I would love to visit the statue of liberty though.
I went to Stonehenge, took lots of snaps and then exposed the whole film when I got back home due to my bloody camera jamming GRRR.
I did think to buy a postcard though.

Oh I saw the Eiffel Tower from afar, whilst we were lost on Paris, so in fact I saw it 5 times thats how we knew we were lost ;)

 
At 12:39 PM, Blogger Stevenapolis said...

Holy shit! a clean 16 yr old for 5 bucks! I know where im goin...

 
At 12:57 PM, Blogger Woozie said...

I'll do it for $4.50.

@ Scorpio : You act like a feminist, all brittle and angry and constantly defensive. But hey, I like lesbians, so it's all good.

Also, I have never tested below "genius" on any I.Q. test I have ever taken. Not bragging, but I didn't need to Google anything to solve Sterculian's "brain teaser." Perhaps if you had used your brain for anything other than leading the poor guy on, then you might have managed to figure it out without my help. Oooooh...that's gotta hurt, knowing a MAN helped you out.

@ Sterculian: WOW I cannot believe you saw so many of those sites. Amazing. A sixteen year old girl for two bucks, a clean one for five?? What if I just raped her in an alley, and then spent fifty cents on a Big Mac for her? Seems like I'm coming out pretty well on that deal.

@ Pixie: Being lost in Paris doesn't sound like much fun, what with all of the sneering and jeering. Oh wait, you're not fully American.

@ Stevie: Stay away from Cambodian girls. Haven't Orientals hurt you enough???

@ Wooz: Let's be honest: you'd do ME for $4.50.

Oh, God Wooz ... please don't start the race thing again. Webpirate was just calming down...

 
At 6:34 AM, Blogger Fidel Castro said...

I've never tested below "genius" either but what's that really prove? That you're reasonably smart and good at tests, or that you're inventive and bright? The former, I suspect. Especially in your case.

FYI: I'm fine with men helping me and I'm fine with men paying for things. I'm fine with brittle, angry lesbians. However, I'm not fine with dumb, insecure assholes who resort to stereotyping when they can't prove a point.

PS
I got enough of third grade the first time around.

@ Scorpio: Now I understand what you meant when you said that you can take a joke, and never take anything seriously.

How fucking obvious. LOL

sammyray - scorpios-who-isn't-fuckable leading me on? Rilly?
I'm hurt SWIF and after I registered our patterns at Sak's, Tiffany's and Target's.
I've never tested at all! Can't hold the fucking pencil without an opposable (apposable?) thumb. Fucking Darwin and that dead bunny's evolution shite.
You fuckers think I'm joking about the girls of SE Asia, doncha?
Fuck me from behind with a 4 foot Thai stick, I was offered a 14 year old for 800 Baht at the hotel attached to the pseudo-VFW restaurant in Nakorn Ratchasima (aka Vietnam era "Korat" American Air Base.) An American WWII vet in his 80s told me she was not very good! The fucker lives there!
Still, ya got to be impressed that at his age he can still do the hookers
In Siem Reap, Cambodia, Home of the Angkor Temple complex the young ladies are 2 dollars US.
In Lao PDR, where I was last winter, helping to stick the limbs back onto the children foolish enough to pick up 35 year old American issue 'bomblets', the ladies would fuck you for a good meal - 50 cents there.

Raped her? Sure enough but they do not have mac Donalds in Cambodia. An handful of Lychees you pick from a tree would probably suffice for restitution. Be careful though, you are open to more legal action by picking the fruit than by raping the girl.
Fuck off about my travel prowess. You're afraid to fly right?

"...brittle, angry lesbians..."?
They give me the horn, they do.

 
At 2:17 PM, Blogger Woozie said...

"Scorpios who isn't fuckable"?

To the ovens, quickly.

 
At 2:53 PM, Blogger sammyray said...

@ Sterculian: I wasn't ridiculing your travels - I merely marveled at them.

@ Woozie: Don't correct him; his ego is fragile enough.

 
At 3:07 PM, Blogger Sterculian Rhetoric said...

I thought scorpios was the singular and scorpiopi the plural.
This is not the case?

sammyray - fuck off you cunt. I know insincerity when I read it.

I think we all should observe a momment of silence to mourn and reflect on the passing of our dear departed friend: Scorpios-who-aren't-fuckable

Scorpio, if you are reading this, we all miss you terribly. Please come back to the five and dime, scorpio, scorpio.

Woozie - you're more of a pedantic cunt than I am.

 
At 3:19 PM, Blogger sammyray said...

@ Sterculian: Um, nooooo ... I actually wasn't being sarcastic. Perhaps you should approach your dealings with others on the internet with a little less suspicion and ego.

And a little less of the word "pedantic" would be nice, also. Overuse only makes one sound pompous, something that certainly does not befit a noble, inclusive man like yourself.

Okay, that last part WAS sarcastic.

 
At 4:57 AM, Blogger Sterculian Rhetoric said...

But I AM a pompous ass. I've no ego though. It was beaten out of me in school by the Sisters of Little or no Mercy.

"...I actually wasn't being sarcastic. ..."
sammyray, I know and nor was I. Is my humour too dry? For the love of all that is good and right in the world,I was being funny. I was being faux-sarcastic.

At 9:21 PM, Blogger sammyray said...

Fascinating series of entries, anonymous. You truly have a mind for the ages. I am sure your blog would be quite a bit better, if you could ever grow balls big enough to put a name to your witty reparte.

Um, no ... I prefer females to be females. That way, they can service their men, like nature intended.

Someday soon Ringo will be the best Beatle, because, like a roach, he will outlive the other ones.
