You may notice the first half of these instructions are similar to the instructions for a working nuclear fusion device. After the first few dozen steps, be sure to press down firmly and fold quickly to overcome fusion pressure.

I didn't start the day expecting to have the experience of suddenly wondering why I'd never thought before about the question of how many times you'd have to fold a piece of paper in half before you got a black hole and then knowing the answer in about three seconds, but given that I did it's no surprise that it's due to xkcd.
