You have heard that said, maybe even said it yourself. But there are those that still don't get it. Spurious Correlations will help illustrate it in a way that others can understand. 1000's of examples. Have fun finding the craziest ones.

Fantastic find, thanks for sharing.  :up:

Every experimental scientist should be forced to keep those printed out in a book to caution them before jumping to conclusions about how variables might be related.

TaoPhoenix:
That's just epic App!

;D

This reminds me of my favorite Archie Bunker quote:

Gloria Bunker-Stivic: Daddy, did you know that sixty percent of the people murdered in this country in the last ten years were killed by guns?

Archie Bunker: Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows?
