MadChicken's Journal: Front page filtering bug?

There's some serious bug in Slashcode -- I kinda figured I was missing some stories, when I looked in "Older stories" there were some I never remembered seeing.

I had "Anime" (ONLY) checked off in the "Don't show me this" list. When I went into preferences and checked "Don't collapse" finally I started seeing other stories.

A similar one, a few stories down, Final Fantasy XI-Bundled PS2 Hard Disc Explored has 17 comments, where the story immediately above it (one hour younger) has 217 comments?

I know you can't judge the interest of the story solely by the comments, but it seems there are some funny things going on.
