conversation at university:
Other Guy: Someone proved mathematically that money is inversely proportional to work!
Me: Just because they are inversely proportional doesn't mean that it isn't the opposite and in fact more money equals less work or even that they are not a cause-effect pair. Correlation does not imply causation. http://xkcd.com/552/
