Who prunes it?
This place should be fake, but it's not.

Okay, so that's a computer-generated image. But they really did build this thing. It's called "The Palm," and it's located just off the shore of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Each "frond" of The Palm is lined with multimillion-dollar villas and sandy beaches. Check out the marketing video. It creeped me out in a way that is difficult to describe. I would really like to know who's buying these places.
