GUYS I JUST REALIZED WHY PAPER BEATS ROCK OH MY GOD
PAPER SYMBOLIZES WORDS WHICH SYMBOLIZES BRAINS

BRAINS OVER BRAWN.
MIND OVER MATTER.

WHAT IS SCISSORS THEN?!
Actually, the convention of paper covering rock possibly goes back to ancient China in the days when a petition to the emperor was symbolised by a rock. The emperor would indicate whether he’d accepted the petition by placing a piece of paper above or below the rock. If the rock was covered by the paper, the petition was refused and the petitioner defeated. {Got my references from an article in the Autumn 2011 issue of Port Magazine, if anyone wants to know} c:
