Ancient Memes, New Wonders…

(Homage a Dr. Banzai…)

Some time ago, Joe, over at Cold Fury, wrote about this marvelous project:

… just as Pierre de Coubertin revived the Olympic Games in 1896 with his modern version of the competition, New7Wonders founder Bernard Weber is reviving the concept of the 7 Wonders with this huge global campaign: the New 7 Wonders of the World. The key difference is that, this time around, they will not be chosen by one man, but rather by millions of people all over the world. …

The voting is now down to 21 finalists.  In July 2007, the winners will be announced at a celebration in Lisbon, Portugal.

This is, in very truth, Really Cool.

Go have a look, sign in, and vote.

Marvellous.
