Erm...maybe some sort of model name?
Or maybe there's a DF logo painted on it somewhere?
I have no fucking idea.

I am intrigued. I have no clue why this has Dwarf Fortress in its name.

If I had to guess, I'd assume there is some sort of mad google-fu association between 'cistern' and 'dwarf fortress' that an advertising algorithm has picked up.

Still deeply bizarre.

The model in the manufacturer's site:

http://www.duravit.us/products/all_series/darling_new.us-en.html?product=592389

The word "Dwarf Fortress" somehow misplaced seems to be "Dual Flush"

Maybe this is a "damn you, auto-correct" scenario then?

Not sure why it would auto-correct to Dwarf Fortress, since the words are very different and "dual" and "flush" are arguably more common than "dwarf" and "fortress."

I forgot, does AC account for increased word usage by a particular user? If so, the person who submitted this might be a fan and for him/her those are more common. Still unlikely.
