Did I just see a Easter Egg / Glitch / A/B test?

Hacker News was titled Ev News for a second there!

Refreshed in a new tab & it was back to Hacker news.

So glad I'm not the only one. Been wracking my brain trying to think why it'd have a rename, even for a day.

I've been checking HN off and on all day, and I only saw it once.

sorry, I mean't why it would be renamed, not that it had been. Like when pg puts the blackbar at the top for a death, maybe this was related to something.
