Applying statistical concepts

From cousin surfslayer's blog,

Few days ago,I was (again) complaining to Mum about my lousy results. I always believe that having distractions will screw my results even further.

But Mum said:

"How come your friends who have boyfriends got good results then?"

Ok..I was stunned that I don't know to reply till a few days later...

I replied,

"Mum...Correlation does not equal to causation."

Ar...The wonders of statistics.. ^-^
