The correlation that has attracted attention near me is the marked drop
in crime rates compared with a reduction in the use of leaded petrol;
here, you can make a comparison with countries that have or have not
reduced the use of leaded petrol at different times, and the correlation
stands up, so perhaps Microsoft is not implicated in this one.

There were such things as dwarf gods. Dwarfs were not a naturally
religious species, but in a world where pit props could crack without
warning and pockets of fire damp could suddenly explode they'd seen the
need for gods as the sort of supernatural equivalent of a hard hat.
Besides, when you hit your thumb with an eight-pound hammer it's nice to
be able to blaspheme. It takes a very special and straong-minded kind of
atheist to jump up and down with their hand clasped under their other
armpit and shout, Oh, random-fluctuations-in-the-space-time-continuum!
or Aaargh, primitive-and-outmoded-concept on a crutch!
