Was under the impression that the 7 wonders were somewhat subjective. If they aren't, they oughtta be.

"...the Seven Deadly Sins..."
And for fans of Camelot -- the stage version, not the movie, Mordred's song:
"The seven deadly virtues, those ghastly little traps
Oh no, my liege, they were not meant for me.
The seven deadly virtues were made for other chaps
Who love a life of failure and ennui
Take courage, now there's a sport
An invitation to the state of rigor mort
And purity, a noble yen
And very restful every now and then..."
Full credit to Lerner and Loewe, of course, who knew how to portray a memorable villain.
For the rest of the song

"... The lone wunderkind who named all Seven Wonders is a man. (Men are slightly better than women at this game.) He lives in Wales and is aged between 18 and 24." I'd bet that there's a huge chance that he plays the PC strategy game 'Sid Meier's Civilization III'.
I could have named all seven, even the tough to remember ones like 'The Temple of Artemis' and 'Mausoleum of Halicarnassus'.
Of all the ancient wonders, I would have liked to see the Colossus of Rhodes the most. It's ruins were sold to an Arab for scrap metal long after it had fallen.
