What's up with the E-meter icons now appearing on every Wikipedia page?

Located in the "navigation", "interaction", "toolbox" and "languages" boxes along the left edge. Did the scilons finally manage to take over Wikipedia, or are the wiki-potentates yanking on the Church of Scientology's chain again?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Update:

Never mind everyone; a hard reboot of my computer made the evil E-meters go away. They WERE there, though. Weird!

    Good question Eddie but I can't see any sign that the Scientologists have taken over Wikipedia.

    But when if I go to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page I don't see any of the E-Meters you're talking about. So I guess either the hacking was fixed or it was just a joke. Maybe you need better glasses and their turquoise squares look like E-Meters to you?

    Maybe the Scilons as you call them have hacked YOUR computer instead of the Internet's? But perhaps its better to not call them Scilons because I think it sounds too much like Ceylon than just the evil robots from Battlestar Galactica. Boy that brings me back.
