Example Correlations

Actual correlations you might discover (statistically significant, logically meaningless)

Cheese Consumption vs. Engineering Doctorates

As Americans eat more cheese, more people earn engineering PhDs. Finally, proof that cheese makes you smarter! r = 0.95

Nicolas Cage Films vs. Pool Drownings

The number of films Nicolas Cage appears in correlates with swimming pool drownings. Coincidence? Yes, obviously. r = 0.87

Divorce Rate vs. Margarine Consumption

Maine's divorce rate tracks almost perfectly with per capita margarine consumption. Maybe butter really is better? r = 0.99

Bee Colonies vs. Internet Users

As internet adoption grew, bee colonies declined. Are bees just really bad at social media? r = -0.91

Each one has its own page. Real data, fake causation, all of it useless.
