Are there things you just can't get your head around, no matter how much evidence is presented to you that they're true?  For me, it's how peanuts grow underground  :o

    If you were able to fold a piece of paper in half 43 times it would reach the moon

    I did double check with a calculator but my maths isn't brilliant so others are welcome to check it! I used 0.05mm as the thickness of a piece of paper and 384,400km to the moon.

    I have never been able to get my head around the fact that at some point the first human appeared.
    I'm convinced it must have been an adult as how the heck does a baby survive?

    @66Mustang I was told that no paper, even silver paper with a ton of weight on it cannot be folded over more then 7 times, by that :) 70s/80s kids programme 'HOW'  :)

    Yeah I saw it on TV as well, they got a huge sheet of paper several meters across and couldn't fold it more than 7 times I think!
