So lazy... So incredibly lazy... 
I was on an internet encylopedia (Wikipedia to be exact) and I was bored. I decided to look up FIAT because I had never quite understood it's name until another thread. It came up with numerous meanings, but the main one I shall link for you. Are there any other oddly named D-mods out there?

Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
If I remember correctly, redink1 named his D-Mod FIAT before he knew FIAT was a car as well.

Mmmm, pizza. 
The abbreviation FIAT just means

"Italian car manufacturer in Turin".

Yep. I originally came up with the acronym From Inside A Tree for a failed Duke Nukem 3d level, and I later found out that FIAT was an actual word, so I decided to make a D-Mod titled that.

Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice. 
The abbreviation FIAT just means

"Italian car manufacturer in Turin".

In Italian, I think it's "Fabrica Internationale d'Automobile Torino".

I was confused by FIAT on th DN, because I thought all the time people were talking about CARS...

I object 
Am I the only one who didn't wonder? I just thought it was just a name (untill I found out that it meant From Inside A Tree...)
