lol. I bet theres one linking intelligence and cycling too. Much like
the humourous graph I saw the other day linking the number of pirates
with climate change. Stats, what fun can be had with them :)

Conclusive proof, as we have long suspected, that car addicts have
massive inferiority complexes. :-)

That is merely part of the Flying spaghetti monster creed.
It is meant to show corellation is NOT causality.

The FSM was first of all proposed by some American student when one of
the states decided intelligent design should be taught with as much
emphasis as Evolution he then "invented" the FSM and campaigned for it
to be taught too, he decided on the pirate ~ global warming thing as
there were a lot of people bandying about statistics that were "shaky"
to say the least.
The FSM will be on Wiki Hold on.

Cyclists are probably the greatest sect worshiping the FSM. They
regularly gather in large numbers to worship and partake of His Body and
the Holy liquid in preparation for their cycling rituals.

The evidence is all there for those that want to see - two round wheels
connected by tubes with the handlebars and saddles rising up above. How
else could you interpret that than as an image of the Deity himself?

Even as we speak governments all around the world are erecting signs
declaring His dominion over man:
