"Man is a marvelous curiosity ... he thinks he is the Creator's pet ... he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea." Mark Twain
Pippin said this in post #33 : Have you ever been to any of them? They are pretty wondrous in person.
I'm sure they are amazing to behold - like the china wall and easter isle (the people who starved themselves to death), but most of the others i'm not interested in. I'm interested more in natural wonders, not man made bricks. Now, i'm not saying if i didn't have the chance to see them i wouldn't, but unless i win a trip or win millions of dollars, i'm not going to drool over it because i'll never see it
