Who played the zoo janitor that told Ross Marcel didn’t really die – and for what role is this actor most famous? What’s the origin of Ross & Carol’s son’s given name? What’s the name of the client that ultimately causes Phoebe to conclude that it was a really bad day for her, whore-wise? Who teaches Joey to ballroom dance? What’s Monica’s middle name, according to Phoebe’s signature accepting delivery of the racecar bed? To whom is Ursula engaged? What actress portrayed a fan unhealthily obsessed with Dr. Drake Remoray, and not too sharp at distinguishing TV from real life? If the doctors had gone ahead with Monica’s plan, what vegetable might Chandler have had surgically attached to his foot? What is Chandler’s occupation, according to Rachel’s disastrous guess? ---

Shoot! The janitor that let Ross, Phoebe and whats-her-name out of the closet when Ben was born. What was Ben’s name going to be? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bricker \* > **Who played the zoo janitor that told Ross Marcel didn’t really die – and for what role is this actor most famous?** I really did know this one, but I had to run a check to make sure I wouldn’t look like an idiot. Anyway, it’s Dan Castellaneta, and I’d say he’s most famous as the voice of Homer Simpson on **The Simpsons**. So, I suppose I should add a question to replace this one. Hmmm… Whose tuxedo does Chandler ultimately borrow from Rachel’s workplace for his wedding? ---

Aha! No one’s answered the question about Monica and Richard’s ages yet, so I get to do it. As I recall, she said something very much like “You’re a whole person-who-can-drink older than me.” According to Chandler, what did he do immediately after his mother got him his first condom? Also, who did he want to call from that bank when Miss Goodacre offered him the use of her cell phone? ---
