No of course not, they have Mario guys running around in karts doing maintenance of hyper complex system with wrenches. No physics can resist Mario's wrench, thats how we move humanity forward
There is a Luigi on the team as well. How it can't be true?
Fratello. Must be a bro.

As a tax payer in one of the member states, I approve of this joke.

When they later actually sold the t-shirt they had previously presented as an April Fools joke? That was pretty cool.
