Yeah, but at least a commoner can set foot in the Sears Tower instead of looking at it from 100 yeards away through a wrought iron fence.

(But I would have voted for Buckingham Palace myself, because the Sears Tower looks like a couple big shoe boxes stacked next to one another.)

Edit: a "yeard" is also known as a "ye olde yard," an English measurement equal to 3 Queen's heads, measured from bloody neck stump to top of crown.
