I did.
Reminded me of an article I read back in school, as assigned reading by one of my better teachers.

Told about how increased ice cream sales led to more rape and sexual assaults.
Had charts and everything, they used a case study from Buffalo, NY. They graphed ice cream sales, and rapes, by weekly average, as a line graph, and they followed each other closely.

At the end, we students were asked what it proved. Many kids were saying things like there needs to be psychological research into why it happened, and maybe people should be keeping a closer eye on people who eat ice cream, maybe hold studies to determine the root cause of the rapes, etc, etc.

Then we got to the class clown. When asked what the study proved, he said 'nothing'. When asked why, he said 'well, when it's zero outside, no one buys ice cream. Also when it's zero outside, rapists will freeze off their twig and berries. Just because there are less rapes when there is less ice cream sales, doesn't mean one causes the other.'

Guess who got the 'A'?
