We are all curious about the Wonders of the World
except my friend, Roger Fundab, who isn't interested in anything but hunting and fishing.

I've tried to get Roger interested by sending him to: [http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/other.html] where all of the wonders are listed as I've shown below.

At: [http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/other.html] you can click on any of these wonders and learn what there is to know about them. I'll leave that process up to you.

Roger said he had no interest in Wonders, yet I learned that he
actually has his own list tacked to the wall above his bunk at the Drake Lake Advanced Hunters Club. I've added it to the end of the Official Wonder Lists.
