Consider a table in a database like

name        color
-----       -------
bananas     yellow
apples      red
kumquats    NULL
lemons      yellow

When you select where color is not yellow
you get kumquats with your apples.

Some people claim that the (Boolean) algebra in
a database is insane because it produces
results which are sometimes unexpected.
