We remember. No, we never forget them. Perhaps they were more than just creations; so monumental and colossal. So magnificent in so many forms. Such sensations that each was no longer just something simply made for a purpose. The purpose was there still, but there is much more to it, isn't there? You see, these aren't a dime-a-dozen. You can't find these just any where at any time. They had meaning. They still do. That's why they are unforgettable. In the future, people will look back at this. People will remember their roots and remember the best.

Some paved the way for their successors. Some took the old and brought them to shame. Some were so intensely their own that they were set apart at their conception. Pure genius, the lot. How such greatness is achieved may never be known. Call them what you will; masterpieces, pinnacles, staples, treasures; each stands for greatness.

Stage one now completed, we take our second step forward. The bell rings. Round Two. By now we have become familiar with our competitors. What will the outcome be? Who will come out victorious? Who decides this? You do. That's right you have a mighty power in your hands. You decide who trumps all. What will you chose? Certainly won't be an easy decision. Choose with caution. Exercise carefulness and contemplate.
