Bizarre but interesting facts

This is in response to someone saying that Irish womans shape has changed in the past 20 years.

Interesting fact....if your ancestors were poor and suffered from malnutrition, then you will end up with a body shape that consists of a long back and short legs i.e your legs and back will be out of proportion to each other.....this persists down the generations so even if the past 3 generations of your ancestors were well fed that body shape would still be in you family!

so anyone else for a bizarre but interesting fact!

More of an urban myth, but apparently the ten golden circle members will never be found until an endoscopy is done on Mary Harney.

Yes, people post rubbish on the internet claiming it to be an interesting fact.

Oh if only somebody would invent a computer that would fit on my lap, and internet that can travel wirelessly to my garden. Or if not a computer they should find a way to get the internet on my mobile phone. There's money to be made from those ideas.

That is interesting.
It would be more interesting if you quoted a source though.

We probably all know the problem of trying to fold a piece of paper more than 8 times, very hard to do, some say impossible (I think Mythbusters got 9 though). But just say hypothetically you could fold a standard piece of paper over and over again, lets say you folded it 100 times.
How thick would it be?
