Heavens.  It's true.  The current one-day ranking for wikipedia.org is 
20; for bbc.co.uk, it's 22.  <boggle>

Let's hold off on the champagne for a little while longer, though.  
One-day ranks are EXTREMELY sensitive to flukes, and we cannot discount 
the possible effect the recent holidays have had on Web traffic across 
much of the world.
