So: "paying 30 pounds for that title is such a waste of money. You should pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a title! Expensive = better!"

At least he has a fitting website name >.>

[itisnotlogical]

I found a tiny lil' spider living in my entertainment center. I did have to move him outside before my relations found him and killed him, but at least I got to watch him move around his web a little bit.

Spoiler: Thousands of years ago, Greeks built Lady Liberty's husband (click to show/hide)

...And it was too apparently awesome to put in school History textbooks. Too bad it was destroyed. If we ever invent time travel, the Seven Wonders are gonna be #1-7 on a lot of peoples' lists.

Aren't the Pyramids still around? I mean, the Muslim Brotherhood probably wanted to wreck them but I doubt they managed that

Yeah. #1-6, then, at least until someone blows them up.

I would love to visit the Library of Alexandria, too

Bah, the pyramids now aren't anywhere close to what they were like originally. All the coating has been taken off, so they don't look spectacular in addition to being fuckhueg.

Don't forget that they also used to have capstones as well. Some people even think they were made of gold.

Electrum (which does contain gold).

Gold and silver, right?

Ayup. Dutchling's going to have to change the colour of his post.

[Tack]

Electrum is at least 30-60% gold and silver (according to stuff I vaguely remember reading about four years ago) and was mostly just used in coinage.

Colossus of Rhodes

Don't forget that it was built from the skeleton of the largest siege engine ever created by man.

The Helepolis was about 130 feet (41.1 m) high, and 65 feet (20.6 m) wide. It rested on eight wheels, each 15 feet (4.6 m) high. The machine weighed 160 tons, and required 3,400 men working in relays to move it, 200 turning a large capstan driving the wheels via a belt, and the rest pushing from behind.

Screw big harbor man. I wanna see THAT.

[SealyStar]

I wanna see the Diolkos back when it was in operating condition.

160 tons, and it failed so hard all the metal got stripped out of it and was used to build a giant man and his giant tiny dong. Rhodes knew what was up, methinks. Very modern sensibilities.

The electrum cap was so the pyramid could flare, obviously.
