Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, SPOCK!

Hey, let's play Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock! The rules are simple:

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 finally...
... rock crushes scissors.

This version of the traditional hand-sign game was invented by Sam Kass, with Karen Bryla. It has been used several times in the sitcom TV series, The Big Bang Theory. In case you didn't know, Spock is an iconic character from the Sci-fi TV series Star Trek, and the hand-sign that is used to represent Spock (fingers held in a V-shape with thumb extended) is actually the "Vulcan salute", an intergalactical gesture of peace often used by Spock. I've never tried the game myself, but apparently the variety of "weapons" reduces the chances of getting a tie with friends you have played with often.

One more time now, starting from the lower-right corner.
