I'm reading over the status updates a few hours after the fact, but for some reason the 1:33PM stands out because it is wrapped in quotes. Probably minor and meaningless. Just noted because it's different from the others.
It's because we update the status site from our chat room via Hubot and whoever posted that particular update didn't realize that they didn't need to put quotes around the body of the message.
