Okay, I’ll give it to you. In the newspaper, the engagement announcement says Monica Gellar and Chandler Bing, but it’s actually a picture of Monica and Joey, because Chandler takes such awful pictures.

Eddie, so named by Joey, who was more than a little miffed when Chandler said he liked the way the eggs were done ‘a la Eddie’.

“Nobody likes two different kinds of eggs EQUAL!”

I thought Ben’s first word was “Hi,” and Rachel got to hear it before his parents.

Yeah, I think **DarkWriter** is right.

“Monica Bang” was when he was telling how Monica whacked his head on the beam, but that was the first time he said her name.

And Mrs. Bing also wrote Euphoria Unbound.

Arrange the Friends in order of age…oh forget that. Hmm…what is Monica’s alcoholic drink of choice?

(So nobody know Joey’s ATM PIN?)

Well, Ross is the oldest.  
And he’s older than Monica. And Ross and Chandler were college roommates all four years, so I assume they were born in the same year, but Ross is older.  
And Rachel’s the youngest, since when she turned 30, everyone else talked about when they turned 30, so my guess would be…

Ross  
Chandler  
Phoebe  
Monica  
Joey  
Rachel

Still no answer on who cried every time he had sex with Rachel.

Complete the jingle: _Home is never far away…_

Who was scheduled for a threesome with Monica and Jean-Claude Van Damme?

Who played the two doctors that Monica and Rachel switch names for - and why might that have been an easy role for the actors in question?

What’s Susan’s (“every day is lesbian lover day”) last name?

What’s Ross’ _Star Wars_ fantasy?

Chandler is terrified that girls discuss everything, including girth.

Don’t know about the apartment’s history pre-Chandler. But Chandler’s roommates have been, Kip, Joey, and Eddie. Monica & Rachel lived there without Chandler when they lost their apartment on the lightning round. Then Joey kept the apartment and had Janine, Rachel and then Phoebe when the girls’ apartment had a fire, and then Rachel again.

I don’t think anyone has answered the early question of what song Ross was playing on his keyboard during the prom night video.

The answer, of course, is “Axel F.”
