Man Invents Machine That Folds Laundry Automatically, Then Spends 47 Hours Watching It

Inventor Jim Folderson has created the Fold-O-Matic 3000, a machine that automatically folds laundry, and has spent the past 47 hours straight watching it work. The machine, which took 6 years and $200,000 to develop, can fold a t-shirt in 3.2 seconds and has never made a mistake. Jim, who previously spent 4 hours a week folding laundry, now stands in front of the machine for hours, narrating its actions like a nature documentary. 'And here it makes a perfect crease, just like I always dreamed,' Jim whispers as the machine folds his socks. His wife says, 'I'm happy he has a hobby, but I'm concerned he hasn't slept and keeps referring to the machine as his 'child.'' Jim has declined all interview requests except to say, 'Leave me alone, I'm watching my son fold a towel.'
