Ha, then you might enjoy this anecdote: In that Tiffany video, there is a chart that appears on screen for a fraction of a second at 7:39 (the correlation "People drowning in swimming pool <> Films with Nicholas Cage"). That chart is from Spurious Correlations, and was made by the author of the bridge article.

Source: Am that author. :)

I notice that that part of the video is highlighted in "most replayed" now, possibly as a result of this discussion.

I know Grey has mentioned in the past being confused about traffic surges to his videos, so wonder if he noticed this one. But then he's also mentioned reading hacker news at times, so maybe he read this comment too.
