Student loan mysteriously paid off?

I recently went on my student loan website and realized that it's mysteriously paid off on 12/8/11. I'm the only one who knows my account information and very few people even know I have student loans. I researched the web extensively on student loan forgiveness and I definitely don't fit ANY of them by any stretch of the imagination. Has anyone else experienced this? The only thing I have come across is that my FIRST student loan disbursement was on 12/7/01, so 12/8/11 marks a 10 year anniversary. The website gives absolutely no information on how it was paid off, or why. Under "payer", it says "other", nothing else. I've also examined my portfolio to make sure I didn't pay it off myself under a drunken stupor, but nope, nothing there either. Maybe this is just a Christmas present from the government?
ETA: My loan was in good standing and on automatic payment. They automatically take out of my checking account every month on the 28th. I'm anxious to see if they will this month.

I read a case in my business law class that a homeless veteran was trying to file for bankruptcy and discharge his student loans. He had mental disorders and couldn't hold a job and ultimately ended up homeless. The bank took him to court to fight it to force him to pay it off, but the court ended up siding with him and they discharged it.
You have to be able to have a minimum standard of living, but sometimes the courts aren't very sympathetic to people.

Mine was paid off on 1/12/12 though, also with a description of "other". Another round of transfers perhaps? I have not gotten any letter yet.
