I'd always noticed the name thing, but Ross is a paleontologist?  I knew I
shouldn't've missed last nights episode!

Maybe this explains why David hasn't posted anything for a while.  Has
anyone notice Schwimmer post anything since Friends started broadcasting...
If Ross every mentions Megacoelocanthus, we'll know for sure!
