Seven New Wonders

OK, so the contest is over and they've announced. The list is pretty good I guess. But Brazil's stupid Jesus statue is one of them, instead of Stonehenge, which should by any definition be a "wonder" -- how it was made is one of the greatest mysteries of the world. I shouldn't be upset as it's all just a publicity stun anyway, but how a 35m statue built in the 1930s is anything special as opposed to TONS and TONS of stone moved hundreds of miles MILLENIA before it's thought possible to do so... well, that's a wonder.
