My favourite wonder of the world is a nice cold beer after an exercise!

Either the temple of artemis or the hanging gardens, at least you can actually use those for services, everything else just sits there and becomes relics.

Has to be the Colossus at Rhodes. Immense, functional (it was a lighthouse so it didn't "just sit there") and the design inspired the Statue of Liberty.

my favorite w.o.t.w. is The Great Pyramid of Giza, because it is the only one that still exists

The colossus looks cool, but it could've never been built that way since it would've collapsed. The way it was supposedly made was to look like a crude soldier holding a torch, i saw a pic of that style and thought it was very ugly. Lighthouses tend to have bad luck seeing that they keep getting destroyed by earthquakes.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria. The website says that there are legends that "the mirror was also used to detect and burn enemy ships before they could reach the shore." Well, I wouldn't mind to have one myself then!
