Folding Massachusetts

Although normally associated with atom smashers and mathematical benders, students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology show they’re not all pen and pencil, but can use paper too. The fourth annual Student Origami Competition shows that those studying at one of the most prestigious universities in the world still have copious time to spare. They obviously don’t do enough philandering, drinking and showing-off like students in the good old days. A beaver, stag beetles, and a Nazgul are a touch better than my stolid schoolboy paper plane. My creativity is as infertile as a ripe Chlamydia carrier. Balls aside, look at the results by clicking here.

On the subject of paper planes, make one in honour of audiovisual master The Hoff by downloading and printing these plans.
