Cool fact 5

I came across this fact today, No piece of square dry paper can be folded more than 7 times in half. Now, I didn't believe this at first so I started to try it out. First I grabbed a standard piece of paper from my printer. The most I could fold it in half was 6 times. My next thought was to get a larger piece of paper, but I do not have any large sheets of paper laying around the house. I did however have some tissue paper that I thought could prove this wrong. I managed to fold the tissue paper 8 times successfully proving this fact wrong. But now I wounder if there is any paper out there that can be folded in half more than 8 times. Go ahead try it, I know you want to.
