No piece of paper can be folded more than 7 times.

The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's gum.

Earth is the only planet not named after a pagan God.

A Boeing 747s wingspan is longer than the Wright brother's first flight.

Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.

The first owner of the Marlboro company died of lung cancer.

Walt Disney was afraid of mice.

The average bed is home to over 6 billion dust mites.

The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.

The total combined weight of the worlds ant population is heavier than the weight of the human population.

The number of people alive on earth right now is higher than the number of all the people that have died. Ever.

Just about 3 people are born every second, and about 1.3333 people die every second. The result is about a 2 and 2/3 net increase of people every second. Almost 10 people more live on this Earth now, than before you finished reading this.

The largest living thing on the face of the Earth is a mushroom underground in Oregon, it measures three and a half miles in diameter.

The Population of the world can live within the state boundaries of Texas.

very minute in the U.S. six people turn 17.

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

That's enough for now. Later, QD.

I smell trouble a brewin....

I think the paper folding is a lil different. I think it is you cannot fold it in half more than 7 times.

Yes, in half. It depends on how thick the paper is and how large it is.

And I assume it still depends on at what angle a bend is considered a fold..........

While humans and most species are divided into only two sexes, mushrooms contain over 36,000 sexes.
Another interesting fact on that site you linked QD. Thats kinda cool though - the mushroom is kinda acting to repair the area so that animals can live in dead trees and it gives other plants a chance to grow. :blah:

In other research, scientists have determined that fungi are more closely related to human beings and animals than to other plants.

Moreover, while humans and most species are divided into only two sexes, mushrooms contain over 36,000 sexes.


how the hell can their be 36k sexes?
