The most awesome things built by humans

[MiracleOfSound]

What is the most awesome thing you have ever seen that we have made or built?

It can be anything, a building, invention, weapon, car... whatever you like.

I shall begin with Gaudi's Sagrada Familia:

It's like Lord of the Rings made a baby with Oblivion.

Damn..

It's not even finished yet... imagine what it will look like when its done.

Though someone told me it's gonna take another 30 years.

GUINNESS

and Heavy Metal.

As an Irish metalhead gamer nerd, I like your taste.

By the way is the guy's Irish accent in the Saboteur not absolutely atrocious?

 

[Jaranja]

AA12 Shotgun... It's a thing o' beauty.

 

[MazzaTheFirst]

Me.

I kid I kid.

Seriously: I would have to say something along the lines of satellites/space ships. When you defy the gravity of earth to the extreme, you know you have won.

Just told the missus about Steampunk the other day. She's doing a fashion design course and I think her next project is going to feature some steampunky styles she was so impressed.

Funny enough, it was the railway rifle from Fallout 3 that made me think of it.

It fetches your bones.

Haven't heard enough of it to judge.

 

[Dorian]

Another human.

Seriously.

We take two humans, one with outside stuff and the other with inside stuff, make them "happy", wait 9 months, and BAM! You've got a fully functional biological being that automatically breathes and circulates blood, plus process complex foods and extracts minerals needed to survive.

Beat THAT, giant rock buildings.

 

[matrix3509]

The LHC.

This. However, I'm adding a qualifying statement to it:
The LHC if they could ever get the damn thing working like its supposed to.

 

[UltraParanoia]

The automobile.
