1) It's the second largest island in the whole Mediterranean
2) If you're not Italian, you'll probably don't even know it exists
3) The sheeps are more than two times the human population
4) Sardinia wants to be independent. In fact, 5 years ago one of the bosses of the independence movement "invaded" with his friends a small island near Sardinian west coast, making it the headquarter of the next independence war
5) The inland is so unsafe that someone compared it with Chechnya
6) Sardinians who live abroad are about 5 times those who live in Sardinia
7) One of the typical food is the casu marzu, rotten cheese with alive worms inside. It's obviously illegal and people smuggle it like it was a drug
8) Being an island with a mountainous-flat outback, it has a huge variety of climes and vegetation, giving you an unbelievable collection of breathtaking landscapes
9) Sardinian people consume on average more beer than both Irish and Bavarian people.
10) There only are two cities that go beyond 100.000 inhabitants
11) In North-Western Sardinia there's a location called Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast) that is reserved for the extra luxury tourism and is often visited by VIPs like Rihanna, George Clooney and Vladimir Putin.

True, never heard of it. It sounds like "Sardinen" in german, a sort of fish.

Has it anything to do with that?

A land full of sheep. Interesting but probably annoying when they are loud.

Strange that you never heard of it, since in summer it gets full of German tourists. Anyway, pick a map and you'll see Sardinia immediately ;)
The fish you're talking about is named "sardina" in Italian, that literally means "little Sardinian girl" and yes, our seas are pretty full of this fish, and in fact they're cheap as **** ;)

A flock of sheeps is grazing behind my home right now. And there isn't any shepherd xd

If you eat it with your eyes closed it's good. Of course you shouldn't think that those worms are alive and moving ;)
