That's great havejoy. Please share them with us.

Did you know no piece of paper (dry) can be folded in half more than 7 times!

:hmmm:

If a piece of paper is folded in half with the first fold, then with the second fold it is folded into quarters. It can only be folded in half once.

However, it may be true that a piece of paper may not be folded in equal proportions more than seven times. I haven't tried.:lol:

...What is a semi-vowel?

You know in school you learned the vowels were a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y? Well it appears that w is a semivowel like y. An example would be the word low; here the w helps the o say it's name. And there is no obstruction to the flowing air stream (as my niece would describe) with the w since it is silent.
