i thought this was sort of funny...

[from my social psych textbook:]
"Overall, females reacted more supportively to others' complaints than did males. Females often responded to complaints with suggestions for dealing with the problem or with expressions of sympathy, whereas males were more likely to change the subject, say nothing, or to be overtly nonsupportive ("Who cares -- that's your problem"). So if you feel like complaining, it appears, don't expect much help from your male friends."

and, you know, i never realized how green mountain dew was until i drank some out of a blue cup. it's very green.
