Attended a friend's quiz a couple of weeks ago.
Question that stumped us was how many colours are in phoebe's bedroom that she'd written a song about.
It's 66!!

HeyAssbutt · 30/09/2019 17:19

Phoebe's gay husband was called Duncan.

Chandler and Monica's wedding day was may 14th.

Lisa Kudrow was really pregnant when the others went to london.

The writers intentionally wrote the pregnancy stories to show alternative ways of having kids: surrogacy, single mum, adoption.

The famous fountain in the credits wasnt shot in central park, it was shot on the studio lot in California I think.

Chandler's mum is called nora.

Ross and Chandler's band in college was called 'Way, no way'.

I literally have hundreds. I should be on your team!

5 and 6 and the. Changed to 20 and 21 because they realised that 5 and 6 wouldn't be that high up in the building. Pretty sure that's right but still google in case I'm that annoying smart arse who isn't actually right Grin

The tv guide comes to Canandlera Bong.
Danny Devito was the awful stripper.
All of the friends have lived in both apartments. Ross lived there when he went to dance camp.
