A Brief History:
We humans need to sleep. Early on someone figured out that grass and straw were more comfortable than the ground. Thus the bed. Then around 3400 BC the Egyptian Pharaohs had their beds moved off the ground and slept on raised surfaces. This worked well for a while. Moving forward to the Roman Empire, mattresses were stuffed with wool, feather, reeds or hay for comfort. The bed frames were decorated with paint, bronze, silver, jewels and gold. During the Renaissance people started covering their mattresses with silks, velvets or satin material. Since then humanity has struggled to find the perfect way of folding these "bedsheets" in a neat and tidy way. The wait is over!
This Instructable will show you how to fold any Bedsheet set into a "Bedsheet Bundle".

thanks
Also, I love the caption "where the magic happens". Nice humorous writing, very entertaining!
Thanks to all the previous comments BTW. I enjoyed it too.
Having survived into my 60s, I've come to agree with whoever it was that said that life is too short to spend any of it folding the likes of underwear. I can easily lump sheets into that category. I usually just stuff the whole wrinkled mess into pillow case and read a few more instructables. They flatten right out when I stretch them onto the mattress.
You, Sir, be awesome, thank you for sharing :)
Very nice.
