Such structures may be found in plumbing, as well as in the human body (specifically, the heart). 2. A company in the game development industry that designed and continues to build upon the Half-Life series. Also, the brains (or lack thereof) behind the infamous "Steam" client, content-delivery platform.

1. Some geniuses find it fun to open the valve on a helium tank, place their mouths over it, and begin hyperventilating. 2. There comes a point in one's life where one must ask life's greatest question: Does Valve's magnificent work with Half-Life outweigh the frustration and uselessness that Steam's impropriety brings? The world may never know.
