I've decided, for the sake of the children, to make a 1:1 model of earth

So that they can see with better detail the geography of our beautiful planet.

I'm thinking paper mache, so if you have any spare newspapers laying around, please send them. I might need a few more than I have already.

10. Sure -

figure that 2^100 is about 1.3E30, and even if a piece of paper were just 1/100 of an inch thick, that makes after 100 folds a piece of paper that is now 1.3E28 inches thick, which is about 2E23 miles, or approcimately 34,925,999,242 light years, which is several billions of light years.

Unless I missed some digits somewhere, it makes for some fucking thick paper.

I hate to have to do the last fold.
