What man made things really impress you?
I have always been impressed by tunnels and bridges.

It made you wonder, so I guess it does count!
The pyramids have always fascinated me. Suspension bridges are pretty cool, too.

The segway is an engineering marvel!
5 gyroscopes
2 dc drives
max speed 14mph
zero turn radius
you stand on the thing and it balances, lean forward it goes forward, lean back it goes backward. It just rocks!

From an engineering standpoint, it may be a marvel, but give me a human-powered bicycle any day.

How about the channel tunnel between England and that other country in Europe (  ) That is amazing I think when the tunnels meet they were witing 22 inches of each other well within their margin of error.
