1. This tells you a lot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cootie_catcher
2. i think a cootie catcher is a condom.
3. I remember those! I believe they are technically called a flexagon in the form you are referring too. For the history of those, see the source site below. Others say it is more accurate to attribute the Cootie-Catchers to origami which originated in China - see 2nd source site. Take your pick... hope this helps/
