Ripley's Believe It or Not The Anechoic Chamber at Orfield Laboratories in Minneapolis, Minn, USA, is built to be the world's quietest room.

Gregory Todd of Hessle, Yorkshire, England, proposed to Tiffany Baillie in April 2012, during her trial for nearly killing him in a knife attack while he slept!
