    I'm amazed The World's Largest Prairie Dog[^] didn't make the list. It's a marvel beyond anything else I have seen. :rolleyes:

      Good to see the World's Largest Peach(water tower actually) is listed. :) It's about 20 min. from my house. Some locals refer to it as the Big Butt or Peachoid. Peach/Butt[^]

        link[^]

        Voters chose the Great Wall of China; India's Taj Mahal; the centuries-old pink
        ruins of Petra in Jordan; the Colosseum in Rome; the statue of Christ overlooking Rio
        de Janeiro; the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru; and the ancient Mayan city of
        Chichen Itza in Mexico.

        Apparently a 105-foot, 100-year-old concrete statue is a greater wonder than the 455-foot, 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza. How absolutely absurd.

        Welcome to democracy. When you let the people decide.... By the way, since you seem to care about it, did you vote?

        This statement was never false.

          People reliably vote in their own interests. That's what this little demonstration proves.

            Looks like it has hemorroids :) We have a peach[^] as well about 200 mile south of where I live. We pass by it every time we go to the beach.

              Interesting, I didn't know there was another one. That site mentions they were built by the same company.

                Meaningless - yes - unless it is a kind-of "sleight of hand" marketing campaign to boost travellers and sightseers to these places.

                    Oddly enough, they have found the body of pharaoh and the bodies of other important people of past. But they have yet to uncover the body of Christ.

                          :laugh: Nice! At least that thing resembles the real thing. I actually stopped by to see the Prairie Dog (driving across Kansas is incredibly boring) and was a little let down by what amounted to little more than a pile of brown concrete with eyes. Good for a laugh, though. :)

                                  Oddly enough, some say they can not have faith to believe in Christ and what the Bible says about him, but they can have faith in carbon 14 dating. With carbon 14 dating if all holds true*, it has a half-life of 5730 years. So its accuracy is limited and can only be used on materials less than 70,000 years old. *This is the part that has to be taken on faith. Assumes that the rate of carbon 14 production has been constant through the past 70,000 years.

                                        No, I don't have kids, I am 17. I was posting that just to see how fast it would disappear.
