The first seven wonders were the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World*. They were called they were: seven of them, were wonders, and were around during the times of the ancient world. Presumably there were wonders around hundreds of millions of years ago. The world back then teemed with nothing more than the odd virus colony. Unfortunately, the ancient virus never left any written record. And if they did, eons of years have eroded the evidence.
Sure, there have various seven wonders of the modern world, but lack style. It’s high time we have had our own list. And so, I bring you Paul’s Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
Today, I bring you my first new wonder:
* = The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were: Great Pyramid of Giza, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
