Everybody knows that both Easter Island and the Vegas Strip were built by aliens and, thus, not "man-made."

Lets see...This is hard...and so depends on what you (as an individual) think justifies a "wonder".

Angkor Wat
Macchu Piccu
Grand Canyon
Milford Sound
Uluru
Christo (if you wanna include one from "that" list - PersonallY I dont think it is)
Stonehenge
The Andies

To be honest I think some of teh Thai beaches could easily go in there, Venice and say New York and London. Sydney with teh Harbour Bridge and Opera House.

Personally I think that everywhere is a wonder of the world...Just for different reasons. Sure I wouldnt find a need to visit most of them but thats just me. How teh hell do you define a "wonder of the world" anyhow????

I suppose everyone can define it differently. Sort of like debating the meaning of "MVP".

I'm surprised the christian monument was on the list at all
Petronas Twin Towers
The Sphinx
The Luxor in vegarse
Eiffel Tower
& Venice, Italy since we can pick entire cities :P

I'm surprised none of those ended up in the 7

I have to second (or third) the California coastal redwoods as far as natural wonders. I cannot fathom anything in the world being more awesome. I have been under the canopy of the trees on a warm sunny day and had visible clouds form and float through and sprinkle rain on me. Nuff said.
