Apparently there was an internet meme I missed out on.. then later it was mentioned on an episode of Big Bang Theory that I also missed (great show by the way, pay close attention to the production credits.) Not until it his a t-shirt at thinkgeek did I find out about it. It's called "Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock" and is designed to keep people from consistently getting in a tie as seen in lesser forms of "Rock Paper Scissors." The rules are:

Scissors cut paper.
Paper covers rock.
Rock crushes lizard.
Lizard poisons Spock.
Spock smashes scissors.
Scissors decapitate lizard.
Lizard eats paper.
Paper disproves Spock.
Spock vaporizes rock.
Rock crushes scissors.

Check out the video I linked above for the clip from the show and if you want to try your hand, here is a Javascript version. If you think it's too complicated, there is always this.

P.S. Ripped the arm on my leather jacket today. Bah I say. Bah.
