	A ''venturi'' is also the exhaust on a recoil-less cannon (such as the 120mm WOMBAT anti-tank system) which allows what would otherwise be the recoil of the weapon to blast itself out as hot air and flame; it is vitally important not to stand immediately behind a WOMBAT system when it is fired. Pink steam may result for the unwary.

Lord Charles Venturi was the head of his [[Venturi|household]] in the court of [[Lord Winder]] during the events of {{NW}}. He and [[Lord Selachii]] cordially detested one another. Or at least, their families traditionally did. He was also much married, all to the same woman. When talking to [[Lady Roberta Meserole]] he was acutely aware that his wife's radar 'could fry an egg at fifty paces'.

He is also Colonel-Commander of at least one regiment raised by family money, [[Clive Mountjoy-Standfast|Lord Venturi's Medium Dragoons]], which effectively means problems if the Ankh-Morporkian Army calls for it to work alongside any [[Tom Wrangle|Regiment]] raised by Selachii family money and commanded by Lord Selachii. As we effectively see in {{NW}}.
