Make those folds neatly and carefully

From Sploid:

Quote:
The myth: You can't fold a paper in half more than eight times.* The reality: Given a paper large enough—and enough energy—you can fold it as many times as you want. The problem: If you fold it 103 times, the thickness of your paper will be larger than the observable Universe: 93 billion light-years. Seriously.
This guy I knew growing up bragged once about being able to disable someone with just a sheet of newspaper. He folded it several times over, and it got thick enough to where he could hold our friend down on the ground, putting the paper over his neck.

I thought he was being a dick because it wasn't that easy...but then again, it was...and it was clever...and true.

That's awesome...I didn't even know there was such a myth.
