The Lizard-Spock Expansion

Hey guys!

I was thinking about The Big Bang Theory episode 8 in season 2 The Lizard-Spock Expansion, can it be possible or true? Let's think about it, may be.. It is possible that a Rock-Paper-Scissors (The game is also known as roshambo) can be extended to Lizard-Spock. Why don't we go into history of this game?

Do you know that Rock-Paper-Scissors was started in 206 BC - 220 AD in the Chinese Han Dynasty? The game at that time was called as Stone-Paper-Scissors or shoushiling. But game became popular in Japan in 18^th century, which was known as janken, Ishiken or rock ken.

Centuries’ old game had its modified version in 1998 on a website by Sam Kass. After some additions in the game, Sam Kass called it Rock-Paper-Scissors-Spock-Lizard. The Times in 2005 mentioned about the game, also USA Rock-Paper-Scissors League sponsored by Bud Light, started in April 2006, the inaugural USARPS Championship was held in Las Vegas, there are other tournaments and championships which were held in other countries like UK and there was even Guinness Book of World Records. But the five-weapon expansion game came with a bang in The Big Bang Theory in 2008, when Dr. Sheldon Cooper explained the game, although when he starts to speak I feel will he ever stop but he gave a perfect explanation for this game, which is as follows; Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, rock crushes scissors. Although Dr. Sheldon Cooper again uses this game in 2012 episode "The Rothman Disintegration".

And I thought that the game was for little fun. It had a whole lot of history from 206 BC, I didn’t even imaged that this simple game would have tournaments and championships. I wish, I would have taken it seriously in my childhood, who knows my name was there in Guinness Book of World Records.
