I am reminded of a great paper, which isn't online:

Biddlecom, Ann E., and Laurie F. DeRose. “A Cross-National Study of Virgin Births.” Journal of Irreproducible Results 38, no. 3 (May/June 1993): 9-14.

It is now. It can be found reproduced within a 1000-page screed of crackpottery here. Go down to page 211 (as reported in the page header) or 168 (as labelled within the document).
