Okay, so this thread is for people to post a wonder of the world. It can be a thread to post something you personally find wonderous, on a subjective level, or something that could be classified as a wonder of the world that is well known in a more objective sense.

You can post a video or pictures. Comments welcome.

Thermoses. They can keep liquid both hot and cold.

As the recently-deceased Betty White wondered:

Grand Canyon. Yosemite. The view I get crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. The Ocean. Our planet is amazing.

The Grand Canyon is lovely, isn't it?!

Thanks for all the cool video you pulled up.

Not going to watch the giant spider one, though ... you and I might not define "wonder" the same. I prefer to see it as a positive word, not one I'd apply to something that will totally freak me out!

The Grand Canyon is very much worth the trip. Took our kids there at my daughter's request. So glad we did.

I find everything fascinating from a distance, in the safety of my home.

I'd be terrified of that spider in person though. Spiders... ick.
