They reference two icon files:

This one is for IE that only understands ICO format.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://img1.wolai.com/img/favicon.ico" />

This one is for good browsers. This is an animated GIF.

<link rel="icon" href="http://img1.wolai.com/img/favicon.gif" type="image/gif" />

"This one is for good browsers". A little biased are we? :-) – David Oct 27 '09 at 14:55

It looks like their favicon is an animated gif. It didn't seem to be animating in Google Chrome (4.x stream), but it works in Firefox.
