The interesting thing about entanglement is not the correlation per se. You can take a pair of hand gloves, put each one into a box, and send them to opposite ends of the universe. When you open one box at one end of the universe and see the left glove, you immediately know that someone at the other end of the universe will find the right one. The interesting thing about entanglement is that decision which glove goes into which box is not made when you prepare the boxes before sending them to opposite ends of the universe but only at the moment you look into the first box.

And if it doesn't fit...you must acquit.
