Quote:Using more than two miles of toilet tissue and one infinite corridor at MIT, a group from St. Mark's School claim to have wiped out the world record for folding paper Sunday.

The group of 15 students and teacher James Tanton from the boarding school in Southborough claim to have folded 13,000 feet of toilet paper in half 13 times (with each fold in the same direction), which would break the record of 12 times set in 2002.

"It was hard, backbreaking work," said Tanton, a mathematics teacher/toilet paper-folder extraordinaire. "It's like Mount Everest. Of course wee had to try."
