Aslan2: Sure. As the rules for the Challenge #1 specified, if you’re under 21, or don’t like beer, some other suitable prize will be provided. I seem to recall sending Godiva chocolate to **Shayna** as an alternate prize a few years ago… ---

These are not on what might be called a set schedule. They’ll come up every time I feel a burning need to share obscure tirivial facts with the world. 🙂 ---

Ah, are you picking on a spelling error? In that case… 1. Norman Chaney And let’s also change: 1. Aouda 2. Idomeneo 3. Setting Free The Bears ---

Wow. Not playing, but to clarify #17: While Chandler is now in the advertising game, at the time his job was Statistical Analysis and Data Reconfiguration. Don’t ask me how I remember that. ---

I’m not sure I agree. The betting game in which Rachel and Monica lost the big apartment was during the middle of season 4. I don’t think we ever heard Chandler’s job title or function until later in the series. ---

MaxT: it’s tough to go back and forth between posts in the thread, but I’m sure you have at least two still wrong. ---

Right. I apologize for not listing all 50 again in this post, but it _is_ a huge block of text. If you want me to do that when changing answers, just let me know and I will. 12: Chaney. Darn that google and those fanpages with the misspelling. ---

Then that means that one of Piaget, Chaney, and Olmsted is incorrect. And for the life of me, I can’t figure out which. ---

1. To get married, you’d go to a Justice of the Peace. And then when you have your kids, you’ll want to read about Jean Piaget. ---
