Making Light: Patrick Roscoe, famous bad example ::: April 19, 2010, 12:28 PM Duncan J Macdonald @186: "Lizard" beating "Spock" can only occur if "Lizard" is actually "Spock" in a "Lizard" suit, and the original "Spock" is a "Lizard" in a "Spock" suit. This is presumably why Sam Kass calls his invention Rock-Paper-Scissors-Spock-Lizard. I have to agree that RPSLS sounds better than RPSSL, but it's unfortunate that people have made the change without changing "rock crushes lizard poisons Spock smashes scissors decapitate lizard eats paper disproves Spock vaporizes rock" to "rock hits Spock defaces paper chokes lizard jams scissors stab Spock pinches lizard mounts rock" or the like.
