Stupid Wonders of the World

No? How do you figure. Christ the Redeemer is a wonder. The Great Pyramid of Giza is not. Who cares about their methodology? And why would a poured concrete statue or be a greater wonder than something like the Eiffel Tower. It's just plain old stupid. Even that orange peel doohicky you have in Australia is more impressive.

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.

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[^]

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.

No. I agree with the Egyptians. This was meaningless.

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 haven't found Noah's Ark either.

: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.
