Why is:

PRINCESS ON THE PEA (From the tale by Hans Christian Andersen)THE UGLY DUCKLING

at #19? or:

AND THE BEAN-STALK (Said to be an allegory of the Teutonic Al-fader, The tale written in French by Charles Perrault)JACK THE GIANT KILLER (From the old British legend told by Geoffrey of Monmouth, of Corineus the Trojan)LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD (From the French tale by Charles Perrault)THE THREE BEARS

at #22? And it shows the number of highlights - around 700 for each. Is this a case of accidental highlighting, some people organizing to highlight random sections of text from free books to mess up the stats, or a bug?

Edit: I have no idea how to use markdown. Argh! I thought two spaces at the end of the line added a line break?
