Next time I go under the knife, I'm handing my surgeon a piece of origami paper. If he can't make it happen, I'm flying to Japan and looking for the doctor from the video to treat me.

What exactly is the size of that thing, as I just did an origami crane starting from a 3*3cm piece of normal paper using nothing but my bare hands. It should be at least half of that! (I only did one crane before in my life so I suspect other people to top this with ease)
