Seven Wonders
A friend, and probably our most loyal reader, informed me yesterday that the 7 Wonders of the World list is up for renewal. With only one of the ancient seven remaining (Great Pyramid of Giza), they will apparently be holding a global vote to determine a new seven next July 7th (7/7/07). The list removed arguable contenders like the Sears Tower, John Hancock Building, and Soldier Field, to arrive at the final 77. They are now down to only 21 (3x7 I guess). To ensure this provides sufficient entertainment for an entire day, in case you are hungover and finding everything in the office too bright and loud, here are some resources to form your own opinion and vote:

The List of 77
The Final List of 21 with some commentary

Where can I vote for Calle Betis!?!?
The Alhambra is as close as you'll get my friend. Sevilla's Giralda was in the final 77, but did not make the list of 21. Tear.
