"Are a person's eyes green?": This could arguably have more than two possible outcomes. I mean, my eyes have some green in them, yes, but they're not "green." Thoughts, anyone?

(Adding to the above comment:) How about this (as a physicist friend pointed out to me): If you flip a coin 10 times in the exact same way, you are guaranteed to get 10 identical outcomes. This article, though obviously well-intended, is over-simplified. Shouldn't Bayesian probability be mentioned somewhere? --Smithfarm 16:05, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
