Anyone else read the title as Correlation is not Caucasian?
This may help explain the "Correlation is not Causation" case.
http://xkcd.com/925/
In a nutshell, if A changes, and B changes to a proportional amount. There are multiple possibilities:
- A Causes B.
- B Causes A.
- A and B do not cause each other. They are caused by C.
- Simply a coincidence.
Not every possibility proves causation, which is why correlation does not imply causation.

Was it Yin or Yang who fell into the black hole? I'm not sure.
I have a FB friend who has a posting style very similar to yours. I can't ever figure out what he's trying to say either. Must be a disconnect between my desired way of receiving info and your (and his) desired way to give info.
