I saw the first submission, but I wanted to use a different headline, so I appended a question mark to the URL and submitted a new link. It's always a good sign when people submit your stuff before you do, but in this case I had a clear idea of what I wanted the headline to be. If I recall correctly, essentially the same thing happened on Tau Day itself, with the same result.

It's funny when the dup makes the front page and the original doesn't. Guess it's all a matter of timing.

And I didn't realize you were the duper until later.
Actually, when I first saw them, they each had 4 upvotes and were side by side on the front page.
