So in the past they just used magic?? |

In the past, you didnt have Physics 1 & 2 classes offered in College teaching you Newtons Laws and the laws of gravity. Also, were talking about stuff with historical significance. |

I don't know why the Brazil's Jesus statue made it instead of the Easter Island.
To me a wonder is something made with such great yet mysterious significance. Easter Island should have definetly been there. They are huge man ! |

It's all good, when they finally flatten them we can build condo's on the site and not have to pay a red cent for demolition and bribing the local council. |

w0000000000000t for Petra!!!
Whats amazing is that there is a new festival in Jordan called The Prana Petra Festival that was started this year, and it was kicked off by none other than Tiesto himself.
Party was in sick. The location really emphisized the 'Elements of Life'.
I'll post the official pics once their up |
