I just watched some of the Death Grips concert on NPR. These dudes are pretty off the wall. The drummer is a beast though. Here is one of their more tame songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRwJMiMfWLg Here's the concert. http://www.npr.org/event/music/163014144/death-grips-in-concert I couldn't watch more than a few minutes because its just too much.

WNBA Title Only Makes Indianapolis That Much More Bleak

The study was on platonic heterosexual male/female friendships, and the article concludes with:
Taken together, these studies suggest that men and women have vastly different views of what it means to be "just friends"—and that these differing views have the potential to lead to trouble. Although women seem to be genuine in their belief that opposite-sex friendships are platonic, men seem unable to turn off their desire for something more.
And finally:
So, can men and women be "just friends?" If we all thought like women, almost certainly.  But if we all thought like men, we'd probably be facing a serious overpopulation crisis.
We all know this. But here is independent scientific proof just in case you need it.
