National Phallacity
The subject of tall buildings came up. The logical action was taken: Google it. That brought up this site. And provoked the perhaps un-PC observation, "A lot of these are in Asia." Of course the U.S. has the most. While Taiwan only has two. However, the Pacific Rim, as a whole, has 42 by my count. So, where are the world's 100 tallest buildings? (Numbers = percentages too, for the non-math majors out there).
United States: 40
China: 16
Hong Kong: 9
UAE: 5
Japan: 4
Singapore: 4
Canada: 3
Malaysia: 3
South Korea: 3
Germany: 2
Saudi Arabia: 2
Taiwan: 2
Thailand: 2
Australia: 1
Indonesia: 1
North Korea: 1
Philippines: 1
Russia: 1
