    Ok, something I wish everyone knew - me being the pedant that I am. What's the difference between they're, their and there.

    They're all here, in their new clothes, standing over there!

    They're = they are
    Their signifies possesion

    There's no better way of saying it for me!

    In half yes! It's 7, the rule is that it has to stay folded, when they did more it would unfold, if I remember correctly, JCB your go!

    Under your own power with normal paper it's seven. Myth busters used a super thin sheet, a digger and weights to fold it 12 times I think.

    ah, that edit.

    Male : Cob
    Female : Pen
    Baby : Cygnet

    There is some old house, it might be Malahide, where the family was called Cobbe, I think, and they have all these pictures of Swans arund the place.

    This is where I learned this.
