21. Don't positively know for certain, but...

...a friend of mine was working a sound and video installation down in the southern part of the state(Louisiana), and asked the job foreman why the house they were working on cost so much money(I think around $11 million) when, though it WAS a very nice and opulent home, the lack of enormous square footage made it seem overpriced. The man directed him to a large window at the back part of the house, looking out over the very expensive looking swimming pool. My friend said, 'yeah, nice pool, but...', as the man hit a button on the wall, and the very nice pool slowly became a very nice addition to the back patio, as the floor of the pool came up and the pool's water disappeared into underground holding tanks. That may be what is being referred to.
