I noticed something interesting when I was using [Bloglines](https://web.archive.org/web/20091126173317/http://www.bloglines.com/ "Bloglines, the most comprehensive, integrated service for searching, subscribing, publishing and sharing news feeds, blogs, and rich Web content.") this morning, both [Erick Meyers](https://web.archive.org/web/20091126173317/http://www.meyerweb.com/ "Erick Meyers web site") site and [Mark Pilgrims ](https://web.archive.org/web/20091126173317/http://diveintomark.org/ "Dive into Mark")use the same fav icon.

Now why is that? Is it like a secret mark of the 'web standards in crowd' or has one of them just nicked it off the other?

Has anyone else seen a Ying and Yang fav.ico anywhere else?
