What we can learn from a quick google search.

Raj mentioned that a google search for "an american orifice" yields a lot of fun stuff (depending on how you like your fun; I enjoy irony) on airport security. This makes sense, as I got a fairly joyless but extremely intimate pat-down at Tegel Airport before returning to the US from Berlin. Raj mentions similar brouhaha in Paris.

But the point is, my search didn't come up with as much hair raising stuff. Arttransponder tops the list, thank goodness. But most of the results are either engineering or heart-surgery related, both disciplines involving a lot of valves, I guess. Ever on the lookout for weird data, I clicked the "related searches" button. Gold mine. Here we go:

an united states orifice

an english orifice
an southwest orifice
an usa orifice
an delta orifice
an american venturi
an american weir
an american nozzle
an american office
an american flow
an american orifice straight
an american orifice they
an american orifice long
an american orifice major
an american orifice should
a us orifice
an continental orifice
an northwest orifice
a canadian orifice
an alaska orifice

My favorites are "an continental orifice" and "an american nozzle."
