Spurious catalogs the funniest ones. Each correlation includes a Pearson coefficient (how strongly they track), the time period, the data sources, and sometimes a commentary explaining why the universe is probably laughing at us. Remember: correlation doesn't imply causation. But it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing "look over there." Perfect for commutes, waiting rooms, or any moment you need a reminder that statistics can be both real and ridiculous. Developed by Bo Bennekov.
