Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Here's a graph purporting to show (I haven't reviewed the data myself) there's an inverse relationship between wine consumption (the red line) and violent crime (the green) in the US.

So, bottoms up.

Wine and United States-Total

Oh wait. "Correlation does not imply causation." Wouldn't ya know.

Ted,

I noticed that you posted a graph from Swivel a while back. Thanks for linking to us! I wanted to invite you to come back to Swivel and check out all of the great new data and graphs since you last posted. Also, please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions or suggestions!

Thanks,
