1. Does a layout of the interior of the Morgendorffer home exist? What rooms and floors are know? From what I can tell, their house appears to be a two-story, with all bedrooms (but only one bathroom) on the second floor. The living room is next to the front door and has three sofas. Almost every room in the house has a TV. What else is known?
Is there any idea of when Daria, Quinn, Jane, or anyone else has a birthday?
Do the Morgendorffers have only one car, the SUV?
Does Jane have her own car, and if so, what is it?
If she does, it was never mentioned in the series. Come to think of it, I can't remember ever seeing her drive -- however, in "Boxing Daria", she does drive to the diner to meet Daria (we just don't see her doing it).

In fact, the Lexus was seen as far back as the first episode, "Esteemsters" (though we didn't know it was a Lexus until "Daria!"). The SUV was first seen in "Through A Lens Darkly".
Actually, we do see Jane driving away after following Daria back to the Morgendorffer house. She was driving Trent's crapmobile. Plus, she drove the Tank in "Speedtrapped" (the video she shot was from behind the wheel; Max was riding shotgun, and Trent, Jesse, and Nick were in the back).

Nope. Way back in first season I was attempting to put together a floor plan. (What can I say? Not only was I running a fansite, I was doing architectural drafting as a job.) The episodes show conflicting information on where things are, and Glenn has confirmed that there is no set layout for the house. Just pretend Washuu lives there.
I would assume a master bath that's only accessible from Jake and Helen's bedroom, as well. I vaguely recall something like this being shown during third season (probably Daria!), but even if not I can't imagine Jake and Helen trying to share a single bathroom with Quinn.
That covers most of the set stuff. Quinn's room usually appears to be above the garage, and the kitchen is right off the living room. Daria's room is right at the top of the stairs.
Nope. Jane's birthday comes up in "Pierce Me", but given the lack of date references, you can't draw much from this. You can assume May 12th for everyone if you want.
The others have been covered.

Someone did try and draw one up once. Forgot who though.

A guestroom is mentioned in "Jake of Hearts". Thats about it.
birthday?
Daria has hers in November. This was mentioned in a B&B book. Jane had a bithday in "Pierce Me". Since that is a late season 2 episode that would place it around april/may. Quinn is usually assumed to be a year and a half younger than Daria.
I think Aunt Rita stayed in that guestroom in "Aunt Nauseam". It was the scene after the second commercial break when Aunt Rita was speaking to Helen while she was packing her clothes. Up until that episode, I had never seen that room before.
Jane Lane a Taurus? Naw, I'd see her more as an Aries or a Gemini...
Maybe she's a Taurus with some planets in Aries or Gemini.
Not that I ACTUALLY believe in astrology or anything . . . .
I know the rule of interpretation is 1 season = 1/2 a year, but it's hard to know for sure. All we can be sure of is that Daria is older than Quinn by something like 1.5 years.
I wondered if any of the FC club girls would graduate with Daria. Apparently, none did. Since the FC'ers have so many classes to- gether, is it safe to assume they're all classmates? If Daria's in the Class of '02, they could be in the Class of '03.
I feel that Daria is actually in the Class of 2001, before 911. I think that's appropriate really. Daria, and the whole era that she represented, was on it's last legs anyway.
Teen pop and the ascendance of the "Fashion Club culture" had pretty much made Daria's outlook seem "soooooo last season" as Sandi would have said.
Then those two very large coffin nails called the World Trade Centers made it official.
Of course those "coffin nails" also signaled the death of the "Fashion Club culture" as well. It's not dead yet, but as the kids get older, and mature, it too will fade away...for awhile.
After all didn't the Fashion Club break up in IICY?

The four bedrooms are upstairs -- the Master bedroom with its own bath (IIRC, you see Jake coming out of the bathroom in "Of Human Bonding"), Daria and Quinn's bedrooms (they presumably share a bathroom), and a guest bedroom (used by Jake's mother and by Aunt Rita) which probably does not have it's own bath (otherwise, Quinn probably would have snatched it up instead of the one she ended up with). IIRC, you can see the view from Quinn's window in "Lane Miserables".
Downstairs is the front door, which leads right to the stairs, and to the family room (with the primary TV and the couch. The kitchen and breakfast are apparently connected to the family room. There's also a dining room (seen in "The Lost Girls" and "One J At A Time"). The dining room's window faces the back yard.
There's also the garage.
The following is deduced from The Daria Database, which gave the Season 3 ages for Britney, Jodie, Sandi and Kevin (16, 16, 16, and 17, respectively). Because Sandi is clearly in the same grade as Quinn and Kevin is clearly in the same grade as Britney, Jodie and Daria, it is most likely that Sandi and Kevin's birthdays fall earlier in the school year (in the fall or early winter) than their classmates. Quinn's likely falls very late in the school year (as she is 14 and a half in the first season while the rest of the Fashion Club is 15).
Jake drives a Lexis.

I'm willing to go along with you on the two full baths upstairs (particualry the shared one with Daria and Quinn), but it's also possible that there could be a mudroom/half-bath of some sort off the garage area, like many modern homes. I also can't shake the notion that there might also be a den downstairs, too. It just seems natural that it would be to me.
I don't know if one can put much stock into it, but the Daria's Inferno game where the level reaches Daria's home, had Daria's bedroom right off the stairs (yet Jake seemed to come from the *other* direction to it in "The Big House"), then Quinn's bedroom.
Perhaps sometime in the future I might try and draw up what I call the Official Morgendorffer House Plan. I'm a CAD operator, and I could tool around with it on a lark, and send it to Outpost Daria...thanks.
In my fanfic, "Nine-Eleven and Counting," I put a door to the garage in the kitchen, in the Morgendorffers' home. I figure you have to get into the house from the garage in some manner, and many homes put the kitchen and garage close together.
