This is incorrect because the form of the poll itself suggests that lizard, and nothing else, was missing from the list (for those who don't know it was an episode of The Big Bang Theory that updated Rock, Paper, Scissors to Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock; instructions on game play in the spoiler tag).

Who was the other person?

I'd like to hear the logic behind "Lizard beats Spock" etc.

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

Rock, paper, whatnow?

Doh!

What an idiot I am. I used this little social game to have a bit of fun.

The folks over at QuBids are using much the same concept to make money hand over fist. In essence you purchase "bids" for $0.60 each. You can then use them to bid on items like iPads and HD TV's. Auctions start at one cent and each time someone bids the price goes up one cent. An item is sold when there are no bids on it for 10 seconds.

For example, an iPad just sold for $27. Meaning before the lucky bidder won the iPad for $27 there were 2,700 bids of $.60 cents each for a total of: $1620 + the selling price of $27 means the site owners received $1,647 for the iPad.

Genius! P.T. Barnum must be rolling over in his grave. There truly is one born every minute.
