Spurious Correlations

Just stumbled across this little gem. http://tylervigen.com/

This guy collected a bunch a data wrote a nifty program that will chart spurious correlations between two sets of data.

He's posted some. You can create your own by clicking Discover a new correlation or change the existing charts by clicking on the titles.
