Science is scary.
More correlations here.
Some of these make a lot of sense:
Industrial Manufacturing Doctorates Awarded vs Per capita consumption of mozarella cheese
-Those PhD students need paninis to survive
Per capita consumption of margarine vs Murders by bodily force
-No one consumes margarine willingly, hence the desire to get rid of whoever is forcing you to do so
Aggregate worldwide income for petrolium companies vs Total revenue generated by golf courses
-Only rich people play golf
Economic doctorates awarded vs People who died by falling out of their bed
-Dirty conscience doesn't let you sleep well
Number of people killed by misusing a lawnmower vs Cost for 16oz of potato chips
-Hypoglycemia
Worldwide non-commercial space launches vs Sociology doctorates awarded
-Some people would rather leave the planet than having to listen to certain conversations
I notice that this site really likes marriages, bees, precipitations, and falling from places, but I don't see the correlation.
