General theory of papal rugby

December 26, 2008

I got back from the Blues Boxing day defeat of the Dragons at around 1800 today. It was a good match with anexciting final ten minutes; the good guys won but it was cold, oh so cold. After checking the latest Randinista edits on the WIkipedia I checked my email to see one from Pascal Venier pointing me to this delightful paper entitled Rugby (the religion of Wales) and its influence on the Catholic church: should Pope Benedict XVI be worried? Its from the BMJ in case you doubt its authority. Aside from the fact it contains valuable data it is a wonderful satire on the confusion of correlation with causation.
