Third Cellar Field of 64: World Landmarks

I think UT is recovering from the last one, so let's get ready for the next one.

I still think television shows would be a good one. or actors/actresses. that could be pretty good.

we could do a favorite investment and wait for tw to tell us why we are all wrong... the possibilities are endless.

World Landmarks: I can think of ten off the top of my head, more if we expand the definition to include manmade structures

When someone says "The La Brea Tar Pits" I always smile, since the phrase translates and unpacks to "The The Tar Tar Pits". Hehehehe
