I just came across the following somewhat interesting link and thought I'd share.
Mathworld also has some info and mentions how in December of 2001 Britney Gallivan, a High School student, derived a formula for the limit of paper folding and then proceeded to set a new world record by folding first gold foil and then paper in half a whopping 12 times in January of 2002, thus debunking the assertions of that paper cannot be folded in half more than eight times.
Enjoy!
