Students Claim New Paper Folding Record

Posted by samzenpus on from the you-got-to-know-when-to-fold-em dept.

A group of 15 students along with their teacher are claiming a new paper folding record. The group claims to have folded (in the same direction) 13,000 feet of toilet paper in half 13 times, breaking the old 2002 record of 12 times. From the article: "[teacher] Tanton has been leading students from St. Mark's on attempts to break the record for five years. But after several failed attempts, Tanton asked the MIT origami club, OrigaMIT, to help him and his students get access to MIT's Infinite Corridor."

    Something new for whiny Slashdotters with irrelevant lives to whine about and ask why it is relevant.

    I, for one, congratulate them!
