Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.
(Since Venus is normally associated with women, what does this tell you?)

I wonder what they saved by eliminating the entire meal in 2001.

Would somebody explain the paper folding one? I know it will get more and more difficult to fold the paper with each fold, but why seven?

Sorry David, some of these are social media myths, e.g. Venus is not the only planet spinning clockwise, or this "The liquid inside young coconut can be used as a substitute for Blood plasma", or this "You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television".

Hi Chev,
I agree.
I know that Uranus also rotates clockwise. I know that coconut oil was used as a substitute for blood plasma in WWII in emergencies when plasma was not available. I did not learn about survival rates. Yes, I likely should not have passed along these controversial statements as talking points. Entertaining maybe but factual, questionable. Also, as Frank noted, no domestic meals on American Airlines now so olives on salads is not an issue.
I did try the folding paper and I did not get to seven folds. Maybe I could have with very thin paper. My paper was from my printer. Toilet paper certainly folds folds more.

Sorry Jack, Dr.Sheldon Cooper in me spoke, here is the silver lining, the “burning calories” line is actually correct in one circumstance, when watching TV is accompanied by eating snacks. You still have a selling point…
