This is a fake article that actually was published in a legitimate journal by a researcher who wanted to show that some journals are not that careful about what they accept for publication. Since the article is there for people to stumble across on the Internet, it makes a good example, and has the advantage that the author provides plenty of explanation elsewhere on the site about how this all transpired, what his motivations were, and how it really was a hoax.
