I had a statistics professor in college tell the class he actually saw a flipped coin land on it's edge. He was, of course, lying. But, Dr. Barnes, you can now officially suck it:
The randomness in a coin toss, it appears, is introduced by sloppy humans. Each human-generated flip has a different height and speed, and is caught at a different angle, giving different outcomes.
The folks at Harvard (and NPR) have way too much time on their hands.
