Trinary
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Trinary is a base computer programming language with many similarities to binary. However, instead of being limited to simple "yes" (1) or "no" (0) answers, trinary takes into account some of the more subtle nuances of human nature by adding a third option: "maybe" (0.314159265358979323).

[edit] The Tit as a Computational Model of Cognition
A "maybe" answer has its uses, despite slowing down the overall processing speed of a computer. For instance, a trinary unit (unfortunately shortened to "tit" for the same reasons "binary unit" became "bit" (apparently chauvinistic males still dominate the computer industry)) allows a computer to respond in a much more unpredictable manner. Even though this process also throws a great deal of error into the mix, statistical evidence suggests that the typical male user wouldn't notice the difference anyway, since he is a great deal more preoccupied with downloading naughty pictures.
[edit] Boon to Artificial Intelligence
In essence, the one advantage of using trinary tits is that a computer's behaviour becomes much more human-like by making truly profound mistakes, and thus enables it to pass the Turing Test with flying colors. The unrestricted exploitation of tits, unfortunately, is not very well suited for scientific or mathematical research. After all, if you ask a computer to multiply 4 and 3, and it tells you it doesn't know the answer because "math is so hard!", integrating that data into a scientific study wouldn't fly too well with your superiors. Trust me, I've tried.
[edit] Application to Quantum Computers
Because of its deep implementation of the Uncertainty Principle, trinary finds its most useful application in quantum computers.
