What the frack just happened with the blocks? 2 in a row and so fast?

Lol, someone with a better understanding then I will have to figure this out, but both those blocks had the same height (321414) on the Bitcoin blockchain, but different hashes on the p2pool share chain.

It looks like we orphaned our own block???

From Coin Cadence's p2pool logs (the lower one was orphaned):

Note: Our stats will not be able to show the Orphan block for a while (because they were submitted at the same height), I'll be sure it is added soon...

That's what it looked like to me. P2pool is so awesome we orphan our own blocks and keep the one with higher transaction fees.
