Mighty Oracle, if I may have but an attosecond of your time...
I have heard reference to "naughty bits."
Which ones are naughty, zeroes or ones?
And in response, thus spake the Usenet Oracle:
I'm afraid you have been missing out on the whole thing. The naughty bits are neither the zeroes or the ones, but the woopies. You see, due to the prudish nature of your planet, you have been oppressed into believing that bits are binary, when they are in fact trinary. The third state, woopie, was deamed to be naughty and all mention of it was supressed. This all started when they recommended that a trinary quanta of information be called a tit.
