Seems like pool time for me:
The timestamps on the live stats page are for when each statistic was last fetched from the server. Normally that would be the same as UTC, which is what the website uses. But if there was a problem fetching stats it could have fallen behind a bit.
So do we get paid for a 0 minute 0 work block?
Yes, the income from the block is of course paid out.
And yeah, blocks created from zero work is due to pure awesomeness.
