Hans Rosling’s joke on silly correlation
Hans Rosling in his video ‘The Joy of Stats’ mentioned this joke on silly correlations:
An American who was wary of heart attacks wanted to find out the cause.
The Japanese eat less fat and drink less wine than the Americans. They were having less number of heart attacks than the Americans.
The French eat more fat and drink more wine than the Americans. They were also having less number of heart attacks than the Americans.
So what kills an American is speaking English!
“PayPal is just the latest company to try to harness the creative powers of the open Internet. Google created a platform that lets anyone buy or display online advertisements. Facebook allows any developer to write applications for its social network, and Apple does the same with its iTunes App Store. Amazon’s Web Services provides developers the cloud-based processing power and storage space they need to build applications and services. Now PayPal has brought this same spirit of innovation and experimentation to the world of payments. Your wallet may never be the same.”
