It's a quintessential moment for rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock!

You're out to dinner with your best buds and no one remembers whose turn it is to pick up the bill. Being the gracious persons you all are, everyone is offering to pick up the tab? How do you decide who pays? You could use the old standard, "Rock, Paper, Scissors," but when using that technique with people you know well, you will end up in a tie about 80% of the time. You need a higher number of possible outcomes, so try "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard Spock." This is not a new idea, but was made instantly popular by a show called The Big Bang Theory.



This is the perfect way to settle a dispute or just have fun. It's the new game that is sweeping the nation. Try it - you'll like it. However, if you pick Spock everytime, you are a total geek.

As some of you may know, I have a t-shirt and gifts shop on Cafepress, and if you can't use your blog to shamelessly promote your stuff, then what good is it, eh? So, if you wanna, you can check out shirts and stuff with the rules to Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock.
