Angkor Wat is a steal in the 2nd round. An absolute slap in the face to those that didn't pick it in the first round.
oh, it's amazing... but dude... we have machu picchu

there will be no face slapping here ;)

[DoctorJones24]

I am only picking things that I have seen in person. Maybe others are doing the same.

I'm going to do this for rounds 1-5 anyway. May have to revise that strategy after that.

I know. I couldn't believe it lasted.
But, but, but...there were giant London penis eggs to be chosen!


OK, OK, that's my last giant-London-penis-egg crack. I swear.

I'm going to try to stick to that strategy as well. I think I should be able to make it through the tenth round if people don't get greedy on my picks...

I understand the arguments for the gerkin..efficiency, uniqueness, blah blah.

but to put it above some other buildings we've seen picked made me raise my eyebrows.

Wow....other than a few weak choices....what structures exist around the world....this is a great thread!

Officially my first stolen pick. I wanted Versailles. Looks like I'm stuck with the Post factory in Naperville, IL

With people making up missed selections and so forth, I'm having trouble figuring out who is up. So...who is it?

[Wingtips1]

have we moved to the 8 hour time frame for picks? If so, DoctorJones is on the hook at 4:36 EST.

Ok...

DoctorJones24 sent me his next pick via PM... so here it is!!!!!!!!!!

He says, in his PM...

"Let the flames begin, but there will be plenty of great churches, bridges, and towers left for me later. There's only one Fenway Park."

And that is his pick... Fenway Park - Home of the Boston Red Sox.
