Wonders

There are now seven "new" wonders of the world and a bigger mishmash of tourist traps you're unlikely to find this side of the Colossus of Rhodes.

What a metaphor for our times. The "old" list of the seven wonders were chosen by one man and has endured for centuries. The new one was chosen by a popular poll of allegedly 100 million people and will be lucky if it lasts a fortnight.

For once, I've almost accepted legitimacy in an angry Egypt...almost.
