That's fantastic - as Language Log was presumably pointing out, one does wonder what Jane was doing in between the minute she spent hosing the house each morning and the two and a half minutes she spent zapping the frozen food at night...one can only guess.
I liked the LOL of 2000 having people comment on her queerness as well.
