I was just browsing through the previous days top stories and saw this. It caught my eye because obviously it was the same story, twice. Same comments. But 2 (marginally) different karma scores. I'm always curious and wondered if anyone had an explanation.

It seems to be a bunch of submissions are effected. The page past the picture I took now has 3 of the double submissions. I just added a second screen shot.

Can anyone else verify that this is happening? Starts at post 119 on the popular stories list.
