* Positive correlation:  number of cigaretted smoked and chance to get lung cancer
* Negative correlation:  Age of a once living organism and amount of atoms of Carbon14 found in it's bones
* No Correlation:  time spent in the casino and the chance to win. (each game is independant, I know its hard to conceive that's why casino make monney)  

And an extra example of positive correlation:
* the number of soft drink sold on a beach and the number of accident in the water.  
=> This does not mean that drinking softdrinks will make you drawn.  But it means that in sunny days more people go to the beach, swim and drink softdrinks.
