goxxing again awesome spike to 13.70 that never happen  Grin

That happens when the price shoots up in a different currency.  Judging from the action, it looks like there's quite a bit of buying pressure from across the pond.  Arbitrage bots will smooth things out.

no, thats whats not supposed to happen.  i was sitting there watching all these prices fire off on time and sales up to 13.725 on Clark Moody w/o the ask side changing at all with asks from 13.59 on up.

Correct, this is not supposed to happen. Its a bug and mtgox hasn't bothered fixing it.

gads, what an idiot (gox).  the shorts have just been given a free gift.

Are you sure its a bug with gox?  Maybe its with clark moody.  You can get the "ticker" stream from Gox but that's just for eye candy.  You should instead grab the trades stream which specifies what currency each trade is in.  There seems to be a LOT of multi-currency activity (EUR, JPY, PLN) tonight just at a quick glance, at least a lot of trades, maybe not a lot of volume...
