Rock, Paper, Scissors 3

[Thadeus]

In the classic Rock, Paper, Scissors game, each item has one win, one loss, and one draw scenario.

Rock dulls Scissors (Rock wins)
Paper covers Rock (Rock loses)
Rock vs. Rock (Rock draws)
etc.

Can you devise another three word/items that correspond so perfectly?

Air, Fire Water

Air rises above Water (Air wins)
Air is burnt by Fire (Air loses)

Water puts out Fire (Water wins)
Water sinks below Air (Water loses)

Fire burns Air (Fire wins)
Fire is extinquished by Water (Fire loses)

(I'm not sure what should happen if you fight fire with fire

Nice one, snuv.

I've never thought that "Paper covers Rock" was such a clear victory.

What about the "That 70's Show" version of Nuclear Bomb, Cockroach, Foot.

Roach survives Bomb.
Foot squashes Roach
Bomb destroys Foot.

Sorry

a slice of bread is better than sex

(obviously I always lose at these sort of games)

I think that should still be the other way round...shouldn't it?!
