Yah, but I agree it would have been good if they'd had a role more like Ben. He appeared in several episodes, and we got to see him go from a baby to a year old or so. Monica Bang!

Hell of a lot of people seem to have a blind spot about this.
I figure it this way..what we are watching is only a small fraction of the character's lives. Often one episode happens all in one day. There are 6 other days of the week where the characters do normal things..ex: shopping, working,..aka stuff that's boring to watch on tv. There's no reason to believe that Phoebe isn't a part of her niece and nephew's lives.

How long does it take you to estimate (24*21*60)/(52*7*6) in your head?
It clearly reduces to (6*3*10)/13 and if you did the Thirteen Times Table at school, you'll know that fourteen thirteens are 182, so the answer to your question is that it takes just a moment to work out it's under 14.

ok I see I didn't do 13 times table

On this side of the Pond they only teach us times tables up to twelve in school. I guess that explains why we come in last on all those education tests, and half our kids couldn't find the USA on a globe if you told them which hemisphere to look in!

24 episodes in a year, each 21 minutes long, totals 24*21*60 seconds.
Taking 52 weeks in a year, 7 days in a week, 6 friends in the show, then
24/52 is 6/13, 21/7 is 3, and 60/6 is 10, hence (6*3*10)/13 or 180/13.
You immediately spot that 180 is just under 182, which you know is 14*13 from doing your Thirteen Times Table, so the answer's just under 14.
Of course it all seems very long-winded laid out like that. Instead you just reduce the fractions as you go along, and up pops 14 in a flash.

If you want to be a successful aerospace engineer, you must be able to think on your feet to defend your position when colleagues & superiors gather round your workstation to pull your infant designs apart: while the mental calculations required can be tougher than 24 21s per year; and you're under stress; and you have to appear relaxed & confident.

good thing I don't want to be an aerospace engineer then!

Okay, but many professions require you to think on your feet; medicine, politics & law are just three examples: and all involve tougher skills than knowing your thirteen times table. :)

I've done that, it's a fun job if you keep calm & are well organised, but it's not in the same league as some professions, no.
Tennant
good, I've worked back stage as a stage manager in the community theatre near me, brilliant fun! director was a bit of a pisser tho
Only if they can make a good, funny story out of it. This is not reality tv or family drama, and we don't need to see the consequences of the character's actions for its own sake.

Bring back Frank Buffay, Jr and his triplets. Remember when Lisa Kudrow got pregnant in real-life, her character Phoebe decided to be the surrogate mother to Frank, Jr.'s childern.

Giovani Ribisi doesn't want to do tv anymore, Alice is the mom on That 70's show. No way to bring them back without recasting.

That 70's
All right, you hot-shots of this newsgroup. What's the REAL reason why Frank, Jr. and Alice were unable to conceive? I know Frank, Jr. picked his half-sister, Phoebe, to be the surrogate mother (to coincide with Lisa Kudrow's real-life pregnancy).
Inquiring minds want to know.
SailorCallie of Crystal San Antonio
because they needed a storyline for Lisa's real life pregnancy. and then there's age. Alice is kinda old for kids. it's harder to concieve at 44
