This is part 2 of the “mentally digestible” concepts of multi-dimensions. Watch it all. If your head isn’t spinning at the end…you weren’t paying attention at all.

Noodles Nugget of Minutia of the Day: July 15th, 2009
Rise n’ Shine! It’s Wednesday July 15th, 2009. Noodles’ Nugget of Minutia of the Day is: What is the purpose of paper towels? Are paper towels for lazy people that cannot keep a small or medium sized cloth or towel nearby? We all use paper towels from time to time, but do we really need to? I can understand using them for picking up smelly or really gross stuff that you really shouldn’t be touching with your hands, but for spills and small messes? Come on…
The paper towel industry loves lazy people. They love to promote how much a new and improved paper towel will pick up. Plus you can now rinse and reuse them. Ummmmmm…excuse me for sounding cynical, but doesn’t that constitute a regular towel?
So let me get this straight…
Paper towel companies are advertising reusable disposable paper towels that are sort of like towels but not really.
Sad isn’t it? It really is a reflection of our society and culture. We are a culture of wasteful throw away people. We use it once…we throw it away.
From this day forward, I will try my hardest to not use paper towels unless it is the ONLY thing around to use.
(Do not get this confused with toilet paper. Totally different, pardon the pun, ball game. lol You really can’t use toilet paper more than once. And if you do…you’re an effing weirdo. lol)
But on to the minutia…
Paper towels, paper, or any flat surface for that matter can not be folded more than 7 times. Good luck getting to fold number 8. It’s impossible, unless you had a press machine or something.
The reason for this is that every time you fold, the number of layers doubles. So 1 sheet of paper becomes 2, then 4, then 8 and so on. Before you know it that little vein in your forehead is popping out trying to fold a piece of paper.
