Some time ago, I saw a commercial (on the History Channel, I think) that called the armor on a tank (can't remember what kind) duranium. Has anyone else seen or heard anything like this before?

They were probably just using a shorthand expression for "depleted uranium".

Nissian has developed a tensile and corrosion resistant material that they use for products on their Infinity line.

And here's the real kicker.....


It's called "Durasteel" :D

Oh yeah, and they supposedly have a copyright on the name, too :P

Yes, that's what I thought.
