Anyone else have any?  I love useless facts!

It was true for a standard 8.5 x 11 piece, but they were able to take a super-thin piece and fold it 8 times. And they folded a football field-sized piece 11 times.

have you noticed cows will lay down in the morning if its going to rain that day? this is b/c when the pressure in the air changes, thus resulting in a rain storm, it makes there tummies jacked up and uncomfortable so they lay down to feel better
