The Great Wall of China, the Colosseum in Rome and Peru’s Machu Picchu are leading contenders to be among the new seven wonders of the world, as a massive poll draws to a close.
Stonehenge is also in the 20-strong shortlist hoping to take one of the places.
Votes have been cast by more than 90 million people, organisers say. As the deadline of 1am tomorrow approaches, the rankings can still change.

Wait till she hits forty and see if her ass is still defying gravity. Then I'll vote. In the meantime, I'd be glad to monitor the situation for you.there is girl who works with me whose ass defies gravity...could i put her/it foreward??
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
The Dom is probably a bit modern...it is the 7 wonders of the ancient world after all (isn't it?). Bloody impressive building though.
No, its not neccessariky ancient (The Eiffel Tower is in there)

No it's to decide on 7 wonders of the modern world ie they must currently exist. The pyramids of Egypt are is the only 'wonder' of the ancient world that still exists.
Fair enough then...The Koelner Dom gets my vote. Along with the Las Vegas Strip, the Colosseum, the Mother Russia statue in Volgograd, and 3 others that I'll think of later
Arch of Ctesiphon in Iraq. Is it one of the 7 wonders already?
Sagrada Familia-If they ever stop building on it that is. Needs to be seen up close to be fully appreciated.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
surely the Spike must win???
its a wonder alright
it cant be modern if the pyramids and stone henge are on the short list.newgrange is older then both of those and its bloody impressive how they got the entrance to line up with the Sun beam on the longest and shortest days too.
its not "modern", its just revised to include only wonders standing today.
doesnt seem too hard to line the entrance up with the sun on the solstice - just start building on the solstice with the door facing the sun
No one's arguing the pyramids but how is Stonehenge (a few stones placed on top of each other) worthy of a nomination and Newgrange not?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
It's more famous. It's kind of like why talented English youngsters cost about an order of magnitude more than any other nationality.
