Further proof that Sheikh Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, is trying to kill us

From the Daily Mail:

The world’s first refrigerated beach is to be built at a luxury hotel in Dubai so the filthy rich holidaymakers don’t burn their feet on the scalding hot sand.

The revolutionary beach will sit next to the new Palazzo Versace hotel and will include a system of heat-absorbing pipes built under the sand and giant wind blowers, designed to keep tourists cool in the searing 40-50C heat.

Next up: planners announce that the world’s first heated ski slope will be completed in Gstaad in 2012.
