Global Warming, Pirates and Noodles

See this open letter, why schools (in the US) should not only teach evolution theory and the theory of Intelligent Designs (fortunately most don't do the second), but also that the universe was cr5eated by a Flying Spaghetti Monster.

What I like most about this letter is the demonstration of how easy it is to devise statistical nonsense, which sounds very scientifically:

"For your interest, I have included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average global temperature over the last 200 years. As you can see, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature."
