True or False? Guess right and you could win a crate of Carling

Be it large, be it small, no piece of paper can be folded in half more than 8 times? True or False? (Sorry, haven't a clue and not time to try it! Seem to remember hearing this before, so I've gone with "True." Well, I've a 50/50 chance!)

FALSE

i remembered seeing something on tv about a girl who disproved this maximum 8 times thing, and it's on the wiki here:
"This function was given by Britney Gallivan in 2001 (then only a high school student) who managed to fold a sheet of paper in half 12 times, contrary to the popular belief that paper of any size could be folded at most eight times."
