Yep, several people in the Blast forum got fooled before somebody finally figured it out.   I thought it was funny even though it's way past April.

perhaps he was expanding on bill #a 3750 now in the senate which is a bill to limit the amount of polution. introduced into the environment by the chrome (and other) plating  processes which will make the plating of many items much too expensive to continued. but dont worry maybe we"ll get polished alloy instead.
