Splenic-flexure syndrome is a chronic disorder that may be caused by gas trapped at bends (flexures) in the colon. Crohn's disease, colon cancer, or any disease that causes intestinal obstruction, may also cause abdominal bloating. Internal hernias or adhesions (scar tissue) from surgery may cause bloating or pain.
For many years it was thought that the maximum number of folds that could be achieved was just seven! This was the case until when in 2002 American teenager Britney Gallivan demonstrated that a sheet of paper can be folded 12 times, provided that it is long enough and thin enough.
If you only have regular 8.5x11 paper, follow these instructions to make a square sheet. Step 2: Take the top corner and fold it over to the bottom corner. Step 3: Fold the left corner over to the right. Step 4: With the flap you just folded with, open it up and crease the left and right sides so you can flatten it.
