Really!
So does the age of Miss America with the number of murders by steam, hot vapors and hot objects...
and the number of people who drowned after falling out of a fishing boat with the marriage rate in Kentucky.
Which all goes to prove - once again! - that correlation does not equal causation.
You can find more interesting example of this effect at Spurious Correlations and can even try you hand at finding a few spurious correlations of your own here.
