The game “rock, paper, scissor” was first mentioned in the book Wuzazu by the Ming-dynasty writer Xie Zhaozhe ( fl. c. 1600), who wrote that the game dated back to the time of the Han dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE). In the book, the game was called shoushiling. 👀 #funfact

Holy crap. Thats pretty cool

Cool!

I am quite sure you mean before Christ and Anno Domini.

Because the silly so-called common era (CE) is clearly marked by the advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

…and pretty sure “paper” at the time was more like hemp. Right? Maybe? 😆
