I just happened to notice this post. Clearly Icarus should not have published this - however, you might be interested to know that the authors did submit this to at least one biology journal, from which it was rejected. I was one of the editors who received their submission, so I know this firsthand. I won't say which journal but my guess is that most (one would hope all) biologists would reject this bizarre article.
