And somehow, I think there is some guy out there who saw that crocodile and thought, “Now there is an idea for a cool tattoo down there…”

I live in a town called “The City of Palms.” So I see palm trees every day. And yes, the palm tree cake looks like they tried to make the original “nuts” look like the head of the palm tree from which the palms branch out. It looks more like that than it does like it has two big coconuts.

That rustling sound amongst the fronds might be a whoosh wafting through.

That aside, I agree–I think they were trying to make the nuts represent the crown, rather than the _other_ nuts.
