New Seven Wonders Revealed

The Seven Wonders of the World have been revealed. I found it odd that one of them is less than one hundred years old (Christ the Redeemer, in Rio de Janeiro was built in 1931). Other than that one choice, I think it's a pretty impressive list.

HOMER NOD: Yesterday I said that a bunch of old Greek dudes figured out the original seven wonders. I stand corrected:

The traditional "seven wonders of the world" all existed more than 2,000 years ago and were all in the Mediterranean region. The originals were selected by one man, believed by many to be ancient Greek writer Antipater of Sidon.
