I like the correlation between US spending on space and suicides by hanging strangulation and suffocation.:har: Stop spending on space NASA and save a life!

Look, some of the folks there aren't rocket scientists, and it wears you down a little. :nope:


:hmmm:
Some of the rocket scientists aren't that great, either.

There's plenty of rocket scientists on Subsim, thank you very much, just take a look at the Kerbal Space Program thread in the Other Games subforum. :O:

Great find! :up:

*tones down voice* of course it's all "spurious" - that's what THEY want us to believe... It's a great resource for us who seek the truth. Oberon and me know that there is rocket scientist stuff out there that the public is not aware of - mostly in the mod section of KSP.:O:

Here's another older favorite of me:

Per capita consumption of cheese (US)

Number of people who died by becoming tangled in their bedsheets

We have not had an AQ terrorist attack in the US since the TV program 24 was aired. Coincidence? Well, yeah, actually that's exactly what it is.

Ya wear 'em to the Forum! "Et Tu Brute?":har: 44 BC: History's most famous 'toga party!:dead:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...aesar_1865.jpg

People who drowned after falling out of a fishing boat
correlates with
Marriage rate in Kentucky

This could actually be true

:gulp:

:har:

Ah, Kentucky, the only state in the union where when you divorce your wife she is still related to you. :timeout:

That's not entirely true. West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee make that claim also. :D

and northern Quebec.
