It came up in a discussion. What are the seven wonders of the world? There are many lists and arguments to be had. First, there's the ancient wonders:

1. The Great Pyramid of Egypt
2. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
3. The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
4. The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
5. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
6. The Colossus of Rhodes
7. The Lighthouse of Alexandria

Then the seven wonders of the modern world:

1. Channel Tunnel
2. CN Tower
3. Empire State Building
4. Golden Gate Bridge
5. Itaipu Dam
6. Panama Canal
7. Netherlands North Sea Protection Works

Then, of course, there are my wonders of the world (in no particular order)

1. A NY bagel (can't be duplicated anywhere else)
2. Grand Central Station (c'mon...it's amazing to be in there)
3. Planes (it's still incredible to me that tons of steel can fly)
4. NY Subway system (it's a wonder it still works:)
5. Pitted olives with pimentos (how do they get those in there?)
6. Niagra Falls (it's unbeliveably powerful when you stand next to them)
7. Smart phones (who knew we have the power of a roomful of computers in the palm of our hands)
