Yet another silly correlation has been uncovered, and this time by none other than IBM.
IBM conducted a study of social media posts and is predicting that women’s heel heights, which are currently in nosebleed territory, are poised to come back down to Earth. Why? Because there has been a strong negative correlation between the height of heels and the economy over time. The higher the heel, the lower the economy.
Of course, this bears mentioning the old saw that "correlation does not necessarily imply causation".
