See with no land
The Sargasso Sea is a region in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by ocean currents, and this is the only sea that has no coast. It is bounded on the west by the Gulf Stream, on the north, by the North Atlantic Current, on the east, by the Canary Current, and on the south, by the North Atlantic Equatorial Current. This system of currents forms the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre.
The Sargasso Sea is roughly 700 statute miles wide and 2,000 statute miles long (1,100 km wide and 3,200 km long). It stretches from roughly 70 degrees west to 40 degrees west, and from 25 degrees north to 35 degrees north. Bermuda is near the western fringes of the sea. The Sargasso Sea is the only "sea" without shores. The ocean water in the Sargasso Sea is distinctive for its deep blue color and exceptional clarity, with underwater visibility of up to 200 feet (61 m).

Land of the Romans
The Roman emperor Trajan conquered Dacia (in today's Romania) 102 e.d. and destroyed almost the entire local population, and settled its soldiers who have completed service in Dacia, and given the country name Rom-Ania, which means land of the Romans. So todays Romanians are descendants of those Romans.

Biggest speeding ticked ever issued
The Koenigsegg CC is attributed with being awarded the fastest ever speeding ticket, 242mph (387 kmh) in Texas, USA, during the Gumball 3000 rally race of 2003. The driver even talks his way out of a ticket! It could just be the movie magic since getting a 242 mph (387 kmh) ticket is not something that Koenigsegg advertises on its website, but if you and I believe it then that's all that matters.
