Anyone else notice how you can never fold a piece of paper in half more than seven times ???

Beating Tao and Philbo to the punch...that's like trying to fold 2^7 pieces of paper, or 128 pieces, in half.  Try folding a small children's book in half ;)

I only got so far as 6 times on an 8 1/2"x11" sheet.  How do you get 7 ???

HAHAHAHAHA.

They like to "watch their weight"... grow in a straight line instead of exponentially ??? Those people crack me up!

Start with a thinner piece of paper - good quality origami paper will allow seven folds (if you're allowed the last bit as a bend, rather than a fold, you can get to eight - I argued that one with my physics teacher twenty years ago :-))

OK, my own one: on the Marylebone Road in London, there's a sign that says "No stopping at any time"... next to a set of traffic lights

:P :PActually there is a very good reason for that.Regular Coke contains corn syrup,which is a corn produvt.A lot of people are sensitive to corn products,which can cause bloating and diarrhea.a super size Coke would obviously contain way too much of this product for a sensitive individual.Kosher Coke doesn't have it,but it's hard to find.Cheers! :D :D :D

That's not the reason my parents drink diet Coke.  They drink it because they want to lose weight.  And yes, they order the Big Macs etc. etc.

Hey,that's cool!But is IS the reason I drink diet soda---I'm sensitive to corn products,and i likje the taste better,too.I don't drink it to lose weight--after all,it only has 100 calories,thereabouts.I'm just not able to consume too many corn products,or too much fat or sugar.Cheers!

Some people are on a diet of some kind off & on most of their lives...usually one part of that is switching to diet drinks.  My mom-n-law got to a point where she preferred the diet versions because regular cokes seemed too sweet.  So even when she isn't on a diet, she'll order a diet drink with dinner  :P  I totally see the humor in this one, and I've wondered about it myself, but this is one possible reason.

I may be able to help a little on this one too.  My sister-in-law is a severe diabetic.  She cannot drink regular Coke because it is sweetened with corn syrup, which is a form of sugar. So she orders Diet Coke, which is sweetened with a sugar substitute (Nutra-Sweet, I think).

As for the rest of the stuff she gets when at McDonald's....she readily admits it is junk....but then again she does not eat there every day....just once in a blue moon.

I've never understood why they make beef flavoured cat food.

I'd love to see a cat catch a cow.
