Transcript:
Ana Lominadze, a 17-year-old Georgian schoolgirl, swam a 6000 yd stretch of the Dardanelles Strait in Turkey in 2012- with her hands and legs bound! By order of the King! Golf was banned by James II of Scotland in 1457 because it was distracting men from the important practice of archery. And escaped inmate returned itself to a turkey jail within 24 hours in January 2014 after finding the weather outside too cold!

Not to mention that the Dardanelles is a busy shipping lane.I crossed it in 1964 by launch, and we had to time the crossing to avoid big freighters.
