Cum hoc ergo propter hoc

or, in English, Correlation does not imply Causation.

Two blokes walk down a city street. One notes that his mate has put a banana in his left ear.

"Hey Bob, whats with the banana in your ear?"

"Bill, it keeps away the elephants."

"Bob, there are no elephants in Bourke Street!"

"See Bill - it works!"

If somebody wants to believe something, then sometimes the word of the scientist is not enough!
