Best looking flag in the history of humanity

Is the Stars and Stripes the best looking flag in the history of humanity, or am I just prejudiced? Country for which it stands and all that aside, just as a flag. As a kid, looking at Flags of the World in the big old Mirriam-Webster in the hall, I was always impressed at the contrast, how it seemed to stand so far above any other, and I still think so. Can't be the objective judgment of a lifetime of graphic arts study; must be this tear in my eye seeing it wave.
