- Thread starter quddusaliquddus
- Start date
In summary: On second thought maybe I shouldn't say that. :redface:In summary, the conversation revolves around discussing the top wonders of the world, both modern and ancient. The participants mention various wonders such as Stevie Wonder, Wonder Bread, Wonderama, The Wonder Years, and the Wonder Bra. The conversation also touches upon natural wonders, specifically volcanoes, with a mention of Mt. St. Helens and Crater Lake. Other wonders mentioned include Einstein's room in the Swiss patent office and Greenway Ford/Mercury in Orlando. The conversation also takes a humorous turn with a mention of tennis and a possible connection between a love for volcanoes and Wonder Bras.

I consider Einstein's room (if there is such a thing) in the Swiss patent office where he wrote and formulated his theories during his free time, one of the wonders of the world.
http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/ae52.htm in Princeton is another one that interest me. And would love to visit sometime as well.
