Brad Lloyd, a personal trainer in New York City, has developed a workout technique using just two dishrags. The man knows fitness; prior to his nine years of personal training experience he was a linebacker for Eastern Michigan University.

And with a world expo set to take place in the city in 2020, things are just getting weirder. Here are seven places that somehow really exist in Dubai.
