^ Don't think that's in the US mostly.

Has to be the Berlin Wall.

And we have a winner.  Here were the final four clues:

$10,000:  It is believed that over 200 people have died trying to conquer it.
$9,000:  A small college in Missouri got a piece of it, thanks to Winston Churchill's granddaughter.
$8,000:  It was one of the few structures in history to be built in one day, although later versions took months to build.
$7,000:  Almost 100 pieces of it still stand today--mostly in the United States.
$6,000:  124 miles long by 12 feet high by 4 feet wide.
$5,000:  Officially, it was called the "Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart".
$4,000:  David Hasselhoff sang atop it on the night that it was torn down.
$3,000:  Its most famous section was "Checkpoint Charlie", on the corner of Friedrichstraße and Zimmerstraße.
$2,000:  Ronald Reagan famously demanded that Mikhail Gorbachev tear it down.
$1,000:  This infamous Cold War symbol separated the capital and people of Germany.

*buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz*

And that sound means that we have to take a commercial break.  We'll be back for more "Double Dare".
Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".
