Rock, Paper, Scissors
There is no way that PAPER can beat ROCK.
1. Rock crushes scissors. No matter what pair of scissors you get, may they be plastic or high-grade metal scissors...a rock the size of your hand would never in a million years crush those scissors. Never, at least, enough to end your life as a paper cutter. You my friend, as a scissor, are impervious to all hand-size rocks. Let this be a lesson to all rock fans out there.
2. Scissors cut paper. Any paper the width of your hand cannot be cut by any pair of scissors. They can be cut by one of those huge Kinko's paper cutters or a paper shredder that can handle more than 5 pages at a time (most can't), but there's no way a normal everyday scissor is cutting a stack of paper that thick. I think you scissor people out there know how true this is.
3. Paper covers rock. Sure, paper can cover rock. You can wrap up that rock like a little gift-bag present. But by covering a rock and blocking out all the light, have we really beaten rock?
