I confess, those were me--I've been secretly logging into most of the
major networks around the world, and have been secretly bringing up
new AS adjacencies between them in an effort to improve routing and
promote world peace through shared packet infrastructure.  If it's a
problem, I can just go back and remove them all so your data looks
clean again, and conforms to the expected results.

Apologies for the confusion.  ^_^;;
