---HILARIOUS JOEY MOMENT:
After having dropped both their halves of their last cheesecake on the floor in the hallway, Chandler and Rachel, in the closing scene of the episode, are crouching down on either side of the pile of cake debris, trying to pick out pieces without dirt on them. Joey comes by and stares at what the two of them are doing, pulls a utensil out of his inner jacket pocket, sits down next to them to join in, and says, "All right, what are we having?"

When David sees Phoebe in Central Perk, he says a statue of Lenin in Minsk reminds him of her, when he looks at it at an odd angle. I’m not expert on Russia here, but are there still statues of Lenin standing in Russia? Weren’t they all torn down when the Soviet Union fell?

There are a few left. I'm not an expert, but as Belarus is still a dictatorship with a Soviet-nostalgic dictator, it seems fairly likely that there are statues of Lenin in the capital Minsk.

Ah. Didn't know that. Thanks, Thande.

Also, Ross asking Monica in the beginning of Act 1 about Frannie's wedding the next day seems to be the first mention of it for Monica. Does this seem likely? Wouldn't he have mentioned it long before then, like when he first got his invitation?
