This article is a hoax intended to embarrass Wikipedia and its users likely by showing that they will assume anything that looks professional and uses hard-copy sources is unquestionably true. Some evidence (copied from the talk page: 1)On this thread the author announces that he's going to Wikipedia to create a hoax article, and uses the same name as he does here. This thread may soon be deleted however; 2) I assume that the author used paper books as sources to make the hoax harder to uncover.  However, I must say, he didn't do such a good job as the books in question don't even seem to exist.  Furthermore, the title of the second book would be misspelled even if it did exist: Brazil is spelled Brasil in Portuguese and Ou means "or" not "the".  I would have just used plain old speedy deletion but I've been told that it's not appropriate for suspected hoax articles.  Soap Talk/Contributions 01:57, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
