REMOTE LEARNING! WTF?!?! I just don't understand liberals.
In senior/graduate stats, in our linear regression courses, we had the "Spurious Correlation Challenge."
This would've been a winner!
During my first analytics class for my MBA, when we got to this, we had a guy that would find the most absurd correlations on the planet. I can't remember where he got them, but he could easily throw out 5-8 per class.
Ridiculous stuff like the number of camels in Egypt versus ice cream cones sold in Amarillo. That wasn't one, but they were that absurd, that "correlated" graphically, and a thing of beauty. No, we wasn't just making them up.
