#19 Dr. Strangelove - You lose all control over your Nuclear Bombers and Missles. They fire at Russian cities at will.

#20 Russian Doomsday Machine - Causes a rapid viewing of archived nuclear explosions that you see in all Cold War T.V. shows.

#21 The Friendly Enemy - Causes all troops to come out of their trenches in a war and exchange gifts on Christmas. The next turn you are free to shoot at them.

#22 E-Mail - You get a 50% percent increase in productivity. There is a 50% chance that the world's computer systems will be hacked into and cause random disbandings of units, launches of missles and/or causing the AI to get as intelligent as a 2 year old instead of the usual still-in-the-womb. (well, maybe a 10% chance on that last one.)

#38: The "Sylvester Stallone" wonder (also called the Rambo wonder): increases the strength of your military units by 30%

#39: "Arnold Schwartzenegger" wonder: same as #38
#40: "Bruce Willis" wonder: same as #38

If you have all the previous 3 wonders (#38,#39,#40), all military units become obsolate, and you win.

#43- Cher
All the nations on Earth declare war on you (out of pure annoyance) and will nuke every one of your cities every turn.

#44- British railway system
40% population loss (due to dodgy railway food and innadequate safety)
+10% trade (gives the tabloids something to write about)

------------------
...And if the British Commonwealth and its people live for a thousand years, man will still say "this was their finest hour".

#45 - Middle East Peace Talks
Guarantees success in peace negotiations, but the peace will only last a single turn. Random casualties on both sides each time a negotiation is initiated.
