The Eiffel Tower is Center Strip. The Statue of Liberty's across from the medieval castle, and diagonally across from the Easter Island head. The sphinx and pyramids are a little further south. Rome is a bit to the north, just before the volcano.

  "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men."  

Heaven save me! The crisis,
the danger, is past
For chance at three wishes
is over at last-
And the damage it has done,
to another fool be passed.
 
Now I do know
that fate has greater might
than any wish I make
as I writhe under Destiny's sight,
I cannot undo- I know
Once the paw has closed tight
 

Option: The Monkey's Paw (from the story by WW Jacobs)
 
 

This looks like what I find when I clean out my shower drain.

I know folks often sneer at 'thoughts and prayers' given how some folks use that as a cop out , but I think they sure couldn't hurt

Three attempts, if you count Roger Corman's unreleased FF movie. You may want to forget it, but it did happen.
 
EDIT: BTW Corman's film is on the file-sharing website, Daily Motion, if anyone's curious:

After TWO Fantastic Four attempts on the big screen got Dr. Doom wrong, some were saying he just wouldn't work  blah blah...
and I'm like "Are you kidding? Sydow's Ming was just a step and a half away from being a great Doom. It can be done!"

If there was ever a Champions movie, he was always my first pick to play Doctor Destroyer.

Thanks for your faith in me, TV Sci Fi creation I can't use in this draft.

Lo! 'Umbrella flight
   As has been through the years!
An Angel's face, hair coiffed tight
   Under hat stern eyes so clear
Where children behave pitifully
  She can teach them fear!
 
 
Manners, are set of priorities high
    Toys put into a row,
And hither and thither fly-
   clothing into dresser shelves go
At bidding of a nanny who knows no king
   Whose magic flows to and fro,
If you're lucky she might just sing,
Really quite a show.
 
 
 
That childish drama- oh, be sure
   It shall not be forgot!
Know that Poppins has it's cure
  Tantrums tolerated? Not.
Time's a circle that ever produces em'
  Brats that must be taught,
And much of manners brings less of sin,
    Better Children now, Spit spot!
 
 
But see, the dangers rise
   As girls of might so rude
Seek to spread carnage about
   with anti witching feuds
They rise, they rise- like serpents teeth
   ungrateful and un-subdued
A nanny is called for our relief
  to save all from girls imbued
 
 
Out- out with the frights- out all!
   and brought down from bloody din,
Alice, Susan, Pippi, Dorothy Gale,
  must be defeated by umbrella on wind
 Else the world suffer more from maidens of pain
   Bloody, mad, unforgiving, grim!
If falls the hope of this tragedy!
Mary Poppins, our heroine?

Today's pick is an option. I select that magical box that is The Wardrobe from The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.
 
*Little known lore it can be used as a gateway to many different lands. You just need a guide.

Warren has dropped out

Not sure that's going to help Bernie that much  as their relationship was, sadly, rather frayed somewhat.
She would have made a good president I think. She fought, and continues to fight, for consumers like a tiger.
