The goofy natural wonders and projects suggestion thread

[EmpireOfCats]

I think we're missing something in this game: The real wonders, natural wonders, projects, and truly beautiful things in life. After all, what would human civilization be without:

- The Oktoberfest (say, +3 gold, but -2 science)
- Elvis' Tomb (can only be built by Great Artist who looks like Elvis)
- The Loch Ness Monster
- Woodstock (culture boost and increases population nine turns later)
- Nuke the Moon Project

You get the idea. Any further suggestions while we're waiting?

The big ball of twine. No civilization is complete without it

The Underground Railroad which is an actual railroad tunnel from one end of your empire to another. Turns into Subway upon reaching the modern era.

I'll be attending the Oktoberfest on the 19th and the 23rd and just realised I have a day off work on the 24th with a hangover and Civ5 will be here by then \o/
