"...Detailed instructions for making origami hang gliders, you can surf on waves of air".

...and looking like a retard.

That's a pretty cool airplane, it'd be neat if I had the patience to put one together.

Indeed, it's not an origami.

Cool video, but that thing ain't no origami.

Dunno about "unbelievable".
An engineer that made rotating objects fit together. Bit like mechanical origami.
Maybe "Impractical" might be a better word.
Asymmetrical shapes are likely to cause irregular torque and stress on the structure in any realistic use.

Having been on the receiving end of one of NicoleBee's fantastic avatar reimaginings, I am a little ashamed to not be able to return the favor. But give me some time, and I'll see if I can whip up an origami bee for you! Congratulations!

Origami! This book is immensely fascinating:

Welcome to the Sift! *promote

Thank you! I hope it inspires you to try your hand at some origami, though the llama fold is an advanced technique. Hehehe..

"lot less wealthy somehow" - WIN. "Is that your hat." ... "Origami polio victims"... oh man, classic. Ah, the SS John Romero. This was one of those classic clips that you wanted to watch twice to catch the jokes again.

I loved that!

You know it's really fascinating to me to consider the origin of all the intricate series of folds ancient people came up with to create practically anything. I mean it's really incredible to imagine someone sitting down with a piece of paper and taking who knows how much time to try one series of folds after the other to finally have a single robust set of steps to turn a simple piece of paper into an amazing work of art.

Here's a link to another fantastic bit of origami. Believe it or not it's a bird and was designed from scratch by VideoSift member maatc:
