I don't understand #19 - if I folded a piece of paper 42 times it would reach to the moon??? WTF does that even mean?
I *think* it's that if you had a piece of paper that was big enough that you could fold it 42 times, that piece of paper would stretch between the earth and the moon. I think an 8.5x11 sheet of paper can only be folded something like 5 times. It's a poorly written sentence.

Any one sheet of paper can only be folded in half, perfectly, 7 times regardless of size. Using a larger piece of paper doesn't make it easier. It's impossible for a human to fold a piece of paper 42 times, this is saying that exponentially a paper's thickness when folded 42 times would reach the moon.
It's not true. The actor who played Uncle Phil was 45 when the show premiered in 1990, and Will Smith is 45 now. So he's the same age, not older. Plus I think the character was supposed to be older than 45, although I don't know if they ever gave "Uncle Phil's" age.
So I can hold my nose and make a noise that sounds like humming ... It's way harder but still humming-esque. Am I doing it wrong or am I just super speshal?
I'm kind of thinking if this were true, some trillionaire (is that a word?) would have already built a damn space ship that could get there and retrieve ALLTHEDIAMONDS.
