Architects and children know that there's only one real measure of a building's excellence: inches. Here's a look at some of the tallest and therefore best super-buildings to scrape the skies:

Burj Khalifa, Dubai: Is topped by a one-of-a-kind lightning rod that funnels electricity to Harvard's Frankenstein Research Lab. They already know they can use electricity to reanimate dead flesh, but now they're trying to use it to kill living people to create an army of reverse Frankensteins.

International Commerce Centre, Hong Kong: This building will be taken off next year's list of tallest buildings because it turns out the building is just a 6-inch model that was held in front of judges' faces and described as "very, very far away."

Willis Tower, Chicago: Formerly the Sears Tower, it was renamed in honor of actor Bruce Willis, who houses his Museum of Anatomical Aberrations and Evolutionary Wrongdoings on the top floor. The final exhibit is just a giant mirror that forces guests to consider the essential hideousness of mankind.
