Correlation and causation : Tyler Vigen's spurious correlations.

Tyler Vigen describes his web project and book, Spurious Correlations, which finds similar patterns in unrelated data sets. Though Vigen exploits these similarities for the purpose of humor, they can also be used to imply a causal relationship when there isn't one.
