After sifting through hundreds of candidates including Epcot Center, the land-locked Sea World in Ohio and my neighbor's freakishly clean garage, organizers have narrowed the field down to 21 finalists including these heavy hitters:
Machu Pichu
Hands-down, Machu Pichu is the most fun name to say. I give this one big points.
Ma-chu Pi-chu. Ma-chu Pi-chu. Say it loud. Say it proud!
Easter Island Statues
Awin for these guys surely would please our future "Chariot of the Gods"-riding alien masters when they return to Earth.
Petra
This one is a clear winner because it was in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," the best of the three Indiana Jones movies. "The dooog was named Indiana...." Ha, I love that wife-beating Scotsman....and I think international voters will, too.
The odds don't look so good for these candidates:
Hagia Sophia -- Sounds like a chubby Slavic girl.
Neuschwanstein Castle -- Too many consonents.
Sydney Opera House -- Nothing featured in "Finding Nemo" should be ranked as a wonder of the world. Maaaaybe Ellen. Maybe.

Personally, I think someone should check into the reason we only get to have 7 Wonders.

I agree. Seems like 10 or 12 would give it more punch.
There was a big fight about this on FCP a month or so ago. A bunch of the site's republicans kept saying the Statue of Liberty should be at the top of the list...I disagree (cause the French made it), what do you think?
I aree -- it's a no go on the Statue of Liberty. Not unless Bill Murray's riding in its hat through the streets of Manhattan like in Ghostbusters II. Which, you'll recall, is the one with hairless pets. :-)
