~~Discover a correlation: find new correlations.~~ Note from Tyler: This isn't working right now - sorry! It's a conflict with my charting software and the latest version of PHP on my server, so unfortunately not a quick fix. Shoot me an email if you'd like an update when I fix it.
Go to the next page of charts, and keep clicking "next" to get through all 30,000.
