I hit the shift key and randomly typed three letters into Wikipedia without paying attention to what those letters were. I figured I would get a Wikipedia disambiguation page for an acronym. I was correct. This is a definitive ranking of the seven things that Wikipedia says that DNO stands for.
7. Distribution Network Operator - These are companies licensed to distribute energy in Mediocre Britain (formerly known as "Great Britain," prior to the Brexit). Can you get any more boring than that?
6. Dno (air base) - A former air base should be more exciting because jets and stuff launched from there. But this is a Russian airbase, and Russia is just the worst.
5. DNO ASA - A Norwegian oil company, focused on oil and gas extraction from the Middle East and North Africa. See? Even the Nordic countries are raving capitalists trying to take all the oil from the brown people and destroy the world with pollution.
4. Drang nach Osten - This is a term coined in the 19th century to designate German expansion into Slavic lands. Damn Germans and their continual demands to expand! The rest of the world needs to keep their eyes on these lousy Hun bastards.
3. Dutch National Opera - Dutch Opera isn't as famous as Viennese Opera or anything, but I'm sure it's just as interesting. That is, if you're interested by people singing nonsense in Italian for three hours. Still, doing absolutely no research to confirm this, I will assume that Dutch Opera is all about weed and hookers, right? Maybe windmills and wooden shoes too.
2. Director of Naval Ordinance - A British acronym that doesn't suck, this is an official in the British Navy that is in charge of all of their munitions. That includes large guns, gun-mountings, magazines, torpedo apparatus, electrical fittings for guns, etc. Pretty awesome.
1. Danish Nurses Organization - Denmark's trade union for nurses. Danish Nurses. How hot does the membership of this organization have to be?
