'Paper beats rock because of an ancient Chinese custom. Legend has it that a Chinese emperor would place the Imperial Seal (usually a carved stone) on top of a new law if he approved of it. If the emperor did not approve the law, he would place the paper on top. Thus, placing paper on top of a rock became a symbol for defeat.'
