Correlation....A Relation
Correlation...A Relation...A Relationship!
Thats how probably the things start, and who knows what will be dependent on what, or whom for that matter!
Well....thats how i used to think, before attending few GB training sessions, and realising that 6 sigma outrightly negates it, and says....
"A Strong Correlation between two variables, doesn't mean that one is causing other."
Well good to begin with..but then as I said....who knows what will start affecting what, when!
Cool enough....but still I'm not too sure about the sentence, for you might end up missing the relationship that this pair of variables could have shared, or share!
LOLS!

Correlation indeed does not tell anything about the cause. And lately the trend has been not to conclude anything about cause-n-effect based on correlation.
A and B are can be highly correlated in four cases:
A is causing B
B is causing A
Both A and B are causing one another
C is causing both A and B
So, you see, a correlation clearly fails to tell which option is correct.
