Your first clue is the date. Somerson appears to have gotten an
early start. A little Web work demonstrates that there is no company
with a Web presence named "Polar Foil" -- the only interesting reference
is to the UL about NASA's in-flight experiments in human sexuality.
Switchboard.com doesn't show any Profaslos living in the US.
Finally, note that Lydia Profaslo is an anagram of April Fool's Day.
