Another bogus correlation based proof is the one with the frog. [caution: do not read if you are offended by animal experiments]
Some (bad) scientist is experimenting with a frog put on a table. He suddenly screams "jump" while hitting the table with both hands. The frog of course jumps, scared away. The scientist then cuts one leg away and repeats the experiment. The frog still jumps away but of course with less agility. The scientist cuts another leg away and repeats the experience. The frog still manage to jump in someway. Until the scientist has cut all the legs away. At that point, the frog doesn't jump when he scream "jump!". Even if repeated.
The scientist then writes in his log book: "when all the frog legs are cut away, the frog becomes deaf."
