So I'm here to start a little competition :) You know, normally there's at least one "were they on a break?" thread per month on ATF, and this issue still causes very heated debates, despite being nearly six years old. Now we haven't had a thread about this for quite some time, so I'm going to start one, but this time, it'll be a little different, I want you to put the blame on any character you want, but base it on the most ridiculous arguments you can find.

For example: My choice is the Chinese take away restaurant Mark must have gone to before he came over to Rachel. Had they taken their time with getting his order ready, he would not have been there when Ross called, could not have interrupted the phone call and consequently R&R would probably have made up, even before Chloe entered the picture.

Or: It's Chandler's and Joey's fault, had they shown more interest in what Chloe had to say, she wouldn't have ended up with Ross

Any other suggestions? :D

Oh, it's absolutely Joanna's fault. She made Rachel do all that extra work. Bad karma got back to her, and that's why she got hit by a bus.

I figured that one out years ago.

uk.politics.misc sometimes gets 800!

Actually, most of the posts were probably Ouroboros (plus some of the other people who briefly appeared for the recent 'reunion')!

It's the fault of Monica's old Indian woman, she was pissed off.

Overdosed on Teletubbies, Tennant Stuart thought it'd be a good idea to post this:

who's she then? Can't remember her. Also it looks like I should have started this thread saying "It's all Rachel's fault, what a big fat hairy bitch", that probably would have gotten more attention than my humorous attempt :( It's my fate, to always be misunderstood, if at all, by my audience....

PHOEBE: Hey, why are you mopping your ceiling?

MONICA: Oh, there's banana on it.

PHOEBE: Wow, I have the spirit of an old Indian woman living in mine.

MONICA: So then you know? (Phoebe nods her head)

The idea is that Phoebe knew Monica had the spirit of an old Indian woman living in her ceiling too (or maybe only at Monica's and Phoebe was dropping a big hint). Anyway, the spirit of the old Indian woman is pissed off by having banana squirted at her, so she hexes all the women in the apartment to undergo a painful experience...

I thought you were looking for humorous alternative theories?

ahh... mmh... In that case: Do we have any other scenes where Rachel does something to the ceiling?

I was and I still am, but apparently hardly anyone is interested :(

It was Phoebe's ex-roommate Denise's fault. She wasn't living with Phoebe at the time yet, but if she had, Phoebe would have had more money and wouldn't have been working with Gunther's roommate Jasmine. Jasmine, not knowing Phoebe, would've never associated the Rachel and Ross that her brother Isaac was talking about with the Rachel her roommate Gunther kept raving about. Therefore, she wouldn't have blabbed the gossip to him, and Ross would've successfully averted the crisis, and still be with Rachel as of this day.

Damn that Denise !
