Embedding weirdness

Is anyone else having weirdness with embedded YouTube videos on their Friends Page, or is that just me? I first noticed it a few days ago when a vid from an entry on a previous page showed up in the place of another embedded vid, but today I have two and I don't know where they're coming from. Also, last time I refreshed and it fixed it, but not today. If I open up the entry the correct vid shows.
Is this happening to anyone else or is it something screwy on my end?

It's like my browser or LJ will choose one video it likes, and pretty much every other video for the next few days will show up as that video. But it's not entirely consistent, so unless people post descriptions with their video embeds, I never know if I'm seeing the correct thing, so I'm not likely to watch it. Trying to follow the video to YouTube still takes me to the wrong video.
The only thing I've found to do about it is to click on the title or reply link in the person's post, which takes me to their journal post page, and the video will show up correctly there.
