'
I need to start this post off with an out-of-context slice from my comments page (I don't want to get into it, if for some reason you do it's under "Anyone?...")
Joe writes about "...CLASSIC 'correlation as causality' logic. In fact it is identical in form to the Pastafarian argument that global warming is inversely proportional to the number of pirates in the world. They choose to believe in it, though, because they NEED to. It makes them feel better."
Slanderous words toward the devoted and innocent worshippers of The Flying Spaghetti Monster ! Why, I can personally attest to the FACT that it always much cooler in our house, thanks be to pirates!
So take your "correlation as causality" and stick it in your eye! ARRRR !

That part was not in reference to the pastafaarians. I guess I could have structured that paragraph a little better. I am, in fact, thinking of buying the mug with that graph on it.
