I think that is only true if you fold it over itself. If you fanned a piece of paper it would have more than 7 folds.

Tedow: You're right about forcing you to use "thousand million" being a little goofy.

Sorry I didn't get it that you were just poking fun at the Brits 'cuz that's always fun. OTOH you could use any number of things to do that:
- silly sports like cricket and field hockey
- women don't look as good in "Bathing Costumes" as they do in swimsuits (Can you imagine the "Sports Illustrated Bathing Costume Edition"
- wacky words to describe other normal everyday items: plimpsoles, flannels, the boot, the bonnet
- goofy spellings: tyre, colour (or is it coulor or coulour?), analogue, disc...
- lack of really manly men (really... name one? Hugh Grant? C'mon Hahaha.)
- "Eddie the Eagle" is still the best athlete in the UK

"... those crazy Frenchman..."

Now something we can ALL agree on.

If only one fool takes out a piece of paper and actually tries to "fold it in half" eight times, this whole thread will have been worth my time
