I saw most of these in a PBS special about the biggest office buildings in the world. There was a surprise ending though - the Pentagon is the *largest* office building even though it's not that tall.
Wait... that might have been Inspector Gadget. In anycase it was really cool.

Exclamation Points to two perfect entries today.
Fingerstothebone, scoring her second MQ bling in three weeks, breaks the logjam at tenth place in the all-time standings and moves up into a new snarl, a five-way tie for sixth.
MQ perenial Chance bags his sixth Exclamation Point; that moves him into undisputed second place on the leaderboard.
