I also think the seemingly extraordinary increase in page views in October is most likely a glitch.
Compare this chart which shows long term trends in page (and image) requests per second. <http://www.nedworks.org/~mark/reqstats/reqstats-yearly.png> http://www.nedworks.org/~mark/reqstats/reqstats-yearly.png No sudden peak in October here. There are several steps involved in producing page view stats. What we can say so far is the anomaly happens before or during data aggregation on our squid log post-processing server.
