Default Is this the Lee Valley April Fools Tool/Product?

Just to be annoying, let me point out that the model -- more correctly
-- should me the MK.XLII

It has a probability ranking of 0.75, and is about as attractive as
the fjords of Norway.

I am sorry, I can't tell. But the product description concludes with this
statement,


"So why call it the Mk.XXXXII? Well - we put a lot of deep thought into the
design, and what else could we call a jig that's clearly the shop equivalent
of the Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything."


That may be a clue.
