Why does paper beat rock?

Chicks dig paper, you can't exactly buy a flash car with a few pebbles can you?

Only geeky chicks. Or a nerd type that would think it through.


Paper can just simply cover the rock. >.>
 
Paper covers rock and it crumblles with fear.
 
Paper is the symbol of life and rock is the symbol of death. Of course paper is going to win.
 
I actually got the impression that Rock would trample paper. D: You know, like a paperweight? But if you think about it, it could be because something has to lose to paper...otherwise paper is just a poor loser, right? :<
 
Its because if you throw paper at the teacher, you become popular.
If you throw a rock at the teacher, you become expelled ;)

Hit the teacher with a book, then try to say that.


I also forgot to point out that, if the rock happens to be blue, then there is no hope of victory for the paper.
 
because those idiots on the playground used to say "gun beats all!", so we gave them papercuts and gave rocks a weakness.

It's all about shifting the RPS metagame. Rock used to be Uber, now it's barely BL. XD
 
Sticks & stones can only brake bones. Paper is generous, and will help poor orphans on the street. Rock will trip you and take your money....which is paper.
 
This thread is amazingly popular considering how...lame it is.

Obviously, paper is immune to all except; water, fire, scissors, knifes and other sharp objects. Rocks can be smashed, paper, cannot.
 
....lol.

So did the inventor of rock, paper, scissors who was more than likely drunk at the time.
 
That's illogical though. Who said the robot even has a laser, who said the dinosaur has teeth, who said the robot has batteries and...a teddy bear can't move.

I still go with the idea that the maker of this game was drunk when he created it.
 
Because if you question the fact that paper can beat rock, your opponent can proceed to backhand you.

I know this from experience.

Because posts like this make paper better.
Kishoku you loser.
 
I dunno why, but I always thought of paper, coming from trees and all, sucking the minerals out of rock or something. Or just the paper smothering covering the rock.
 
Because the paper finished Collages, and is trained in the art of war.


You may ask why scissors Win's paper, because scissors is extremely attractive and that's papers only weakness,

And rock beats scissors because rock has a six pack and scissors feel the need that they have to take care of the rock.
