Can Someone Please Explain This Weird Google Result?

How did this happen?

I've never seen the same home page occupy the #1 and #2 spots.
With each home page being different!

The 2nd home page does have some odd javascript in the head...but I'm not sure if that's the "secret".

Code:

<!--
var parent_location = new String(parent.location);
var top_location = new String(top.location);
var cur_location = new String(location);
parent_location = parent_location.toLowerCase();
top_location = top_location.toLowerCase();
cur_location = cur_location.toLowerCase();
if ( ( top_location != cur_location ) && parent_location.indexOf('http://www.thegurusassassin.com') != 0 )
{
    top.location.href = document.location.href;
}
//-->

Anyone know?

They are different domains.... Note the word guru... One is gurus, and the other is GURU.

Totally got me for 2 minutes, until I realized it.

  I spent about two minutes wondering as well, till I searched it and read every letter - and figured it out.
