Internet Explorer Market Share vs Murder Rates in the US.

That's good enough for me.

There's obviously a correlation there, even though it might not be blindingly obvious why there should be.

I see your grasp of statistics is pretty low.
Unsurprising.

Notice that our harry is hiding ?
Looks like my correlation is far more "on the ball" than his about "gun
crime"...

No, Harry is on the ball. Statistics can be be made to say just about anything. Apparantly, the incidence of brain cancer in American cities correlates exceedingly well with the amount of salt used on the city streets to melt ice. So, move to Honolulu and eliminate your liklihood of contracting brain cancer.

Right, next thing you hear might be that stupid correlation on high CO2
levels leading to global warming.

Considering that the geological data shows that CO2 lags planetary warming
by decades, it would be just more ignorant bull****

In your case, the back end of the horse.

There have been fifteen mass extinctions at least in the history of
the earth. Most have been associated with a rise in CO2 and global
warming.

The man who coined the original phrase was Benjamin Disraeli, he served
in government for forty years, twice as Prime Minister of Great Britain.
He played a central role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party.

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."

The Right Honourable Earl of Beaconsfield KG PC FRS was a remarkable
man. Too bad the world seems to have run out of his ilk. ^_^

My brother and me have a stack of them called Monsterisms in honor of
his nom de plume, "Uncle Monster". They are phrases about our view of
the world around us. ^_^

When you turn a wing nut to the left, things loosen up, the wing nut
comes off and everything falls apart. When you turn a wing nut to the
right, it tightens up holding everything together but if you wind it too
tight, the bolt will snap off and everything falls apart. The best way
is to turn the wing nut to the right until it reaches the proper torque
so you don't damage the bolt and everything stays together. ^_^
