Rock Paper Scissors, Etc.

wintermute: I like that sponge beats devil.
Maryam: Why does wolf beat lightning?
Maryam: I don't think that system makes much sense.
Sentynel: http://www.umop.com/rps101/rps101chart.html RPS-15 is for amateurs.
wintermute: Dynamite beats tornado?
Sentynel: I'm pretty sure a sufficiently large amount of dynamite correctly placed and detonated would disrupt a tornado.
Sentynel: You might just need rather a lot.
ThePhan: Sent: IS AMAZING
Sentynel: I know I am.
ThePhan: LOL
wintermute: Turnip beats dragon.
Sentynel: Dragons are carnivorous. Turnips are probably poisonous or something.
ThePhan: If you click on them, it tells you why.
ThePhan: ...Turnip wins because it can be thrown at dragon.
ThePhan: Sent's explanation is better.
Sentynel: Woah, they wrote out what happens for all ~5k combinations? That's pretty impressive in itself.
Maryam: Dragons are usually intelligent too. Think they would just eat a turnip if you gave it to them?
Sentynel: Maryam: I don't think the RPS rules take into account intelligence of participants. After all, what sort of moron tries to cut a rock with scissors?
Maryam: Heh.
ThePhan: Sent: Yeah, that's my favorite part.
ThePhan: You can see ALL the outcomes in a list here: http://www.umop.com/rps101/alloutcomes.htm
wintermute: Planet goes to school?
ThePhan: (Incidentally, to address earlier concerns, wolf outruns lightning and sponge cleanses devil.)
Sentynel: That's either a very quick wolf or very slow lightning.
ThePhan: wm: Er... apparently
wintermute: LOL: http://www.umop.com/rps101/1.htm
wintermute: Lots of "Explodes".
wintermute: Computer prevents baby?
iwpg: So man beats brain because he has a brain, but turnip beats brain because it has no brain?
Maryam: If you're too addicted to the computer for procreation?
iwpg: Surely that means everything should beat brain one way or another?
Sentynel: TIL vampires are nuke-proof.
wintermute: Toilet attracts lightning?
wintermute: I'm never pooping there again.
Sentynel: LOL, toilet smells like nuke.
iwpg: "Toilet more legal than wall" is the one that really puzzled me there.
