either one for me...

But I'll go bucky.... they got cool uniforms

The Palace wins, and will take on the Henge in the sweet 16, the two most powerful Brits. Only the tournament can produce such surprises.

We proceed,

St. Louis Arch (6)
vs
Empire State Building (3)

A good match.

I like the Arch and the tunnel underneath (although never did get to ride the elevator)

glatt · 04-10-2006, 12:08 PM

The Arch is more visually striking, because it's set off by itself, while the Empire State Building is in a forest of other tall buildings.

But still, it's the Empire State Building. A very impressive building, with lots of history.

I vote for the Empire State Building.

The arch is too slippery for Kong to climb, so I vote for the ESB.

SteveBsjb · 04-10-2006, 01:37 PM

ESB, I can see it from my window.

Undertoad · 04-10-2006, 01:38 PM

Empire State Building wins. And will take on the winner of the next match:

Sydney Opera House (7)
vs
Colosseum (2)

This one is hard. To choose one is to reject the other. I don't want to reject either one. Both have tremendous merits.

Opera House. It's more visually pleasing.

Colosseum.

Cyclefrance · 04-10-2006, 03:17 PM

Opera house - like to see the Italians have to slug it out (St. Peter's vs Great Wall next....)

TiddyBaby · 04-10-2006, 03:31 PM

wake up Pink Floyd and put em in the Colosseum

Spexxvet · 04-10-2006, 03:34 PM

Coloseum. I can't beleive I missed round two entirely, and almost all of round three. Have a busy weekend and you miss alot around here.

Undertoad · 04-10-2006, 08:41 PM

Colosseum in a squeaker.

Great Wall of China (1)
vs
St. Peter's Basilica (9)

Something to be said for that. I saw Pink Floyd do the DarkSide tour concert (15 March 1974) in "The Spectrum".

Words fail me.
