I'm seeing double in the Popular Favorites.
This post is showing up twice in Popular Favorites, one entry with 74 favorites and one with 71 favorites.
I noticed it the other day with a different post, too, but forgot about it until just now. I think it was at about the same location in the list as this current one.

What's really weird is that the timestamp hyperlinks are identical, but I'm getting one in the 'visited' color and one in the 'new' color.

For whatever reason the ghost post is linking to music.metafilter instead of www.metafilter, so that explains the visited-vs-not thing. I saw the same thing but with a different ghost post when I first loaded the page, so, yeah, definitely something odd going on.

One of them is a link to a black mefi music page that says:
Nothing to see here, move along...
You've stumbled upon a non-existent post, or one that was deleted for various reasons.
Does that mean it's fixed?
On preview, coretex says no.

Maybe it will go away if someone writes a song called "Abandoned Britain" and posts it to Music.

pb says it's fixed now; the culprit was a Music post (specifically, this bit of chococat awesomeness that was recently pointed out in metatalk) that the favorites page wasn't expecting to see. Which explains the phantom music subdomain part of the problem.

Oh yeah? So I assume the giant marshmallow man wreaking havoc around my office building is just coincidence then.

The marshmallow man is always a coincidence, yes.

When someone asks you if you're a mod, you say yes.

So the Popular page wasn't previously expecting anything from the Music subsite? There's a vote of confidence if I ever saw one.

FACT: Snowy (Tintin's dog) was actually voiced by Keanu Reeves in the original graphic novels.
