I subscribe to the RSS feeds of two very different blogs. (The only commonality I can think of is that they're both NYC-based. Oh, and they're both also hosted at blogger.com.) Their most recent posts are very strange.

Were they both hacked, or is there some kind of NYC blogger inside joke going on here? Steve Baldwin in particular doesn't strike me as the kind of person to play weird games on his readers. |
Update:
This has happened to many other blogger.com users.
There's a partial list of other affected blogs at Amy Ridenour's National Center blog:

"I'm no software expert, but it appears to me that the post was inserted by the Blogger publishing system," she wrote. Does this make sense, and if so, what could have caused it to be inserted? |
Hmm, are the blogs you listed hosted by Google at all? |
Exactly, it was hard to imagine that reason... |
It's the famous "oh-shit-it's-not-development-server!" error. Many developers, including me, know it well ;-) |
And most of them will never come to public =) |
