And additionally thanks for the link to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anscombe%27s_quartet

I didn't know about those.

(and, to follow in Fernando's footsteps)

use higher order moments
use general measures of dependence
use non-linearity tests
use a robust estimator
and use partial correlation in the multivariate case
