3. The Magna-Doodle in Joey and Rachel's apartment has a drawing of a Claddagh ring, which symbolizes love, friendship and loyalty. Traditionally, if the ring is on the right hand with the heart facing outward, the wearer is not in any serious relationship and may be looking for a relationship. When worn on the right hand but with the heart facing inward, the person is in a relationship. A Claddagh worn on the left ring finger facing outward generally indicates that the wearer is engaged. When the ring is on the left ring finger and facing inward, it generally means that the person is married.
4. Monica corrects Chandler's vision of their future by swapping out the cat for a dog, since she is allergic to cats and is at this point unaware of Chandler's fear of dogs.

8. Rachel states in this episode that she doesn't want to hang around like an old lady and that she'll go get something pierced. Phoebe questions this telling her that it hurts and proving it by pinching her. However in an episode in season two she gets a tattoo (though it's never mentioned again) and claims it barely hurt, so you'd think she could handle a piercing.
9. Phoebe would be able to order a new certified copy of her birth certificate from New York state's vital statistics department by using Ursula's birth certificate which would prove she was one of a multiple (2) live births on it. Ursula would probably have to go along with her identification; which might be problematic given Ursula's disinterest in anything Phoebe.

9. Chandler rents a suit made for Pierce Brosnan, but all 007 actors forfeit the right to wear tuxes in public and all of his "Bond" tuxes were made by Brioni.This is not an entirely accurate statement: According to the Snopes.com website (a website that investigates the validity of such statements) Actors who are under contract to play 007 James Bond may not wear tuxedos at official or public venues in character unless sanctioned by the studio they are under contract with.
