How much influence does ODP have on Google SERP's?

Maybe its just me, but I've been watching this update closely and I'm seeing more weight given to sites with ODP listings. I've been watching the dance very closely for the past 6 months and this is really the first time I've seen so many directory listings occupying the first 10 SERP's.

Can someone confirm that its a fact or is it possible I'm having a Senior Moment nearing my birthday?

I believe (but maybe not) that the influence is probably the same.

DMOZ has added about a quarter of a million listings in the past month.

In addition, I have noticed that many cats have increased in PR.

Both of these would probably affect the norm.
