a load of fluff really
November 10, 2005 11:10 pm general chit chatAnyway enough about the state of our nation. Lets get down to serious business.
Belly Button lint, how is it formed? Why does it only appear in the belly button? Is it only in the belly button because if belly button lint was in some other bodily crevice that its name would be rather defunct?
If its true that its just fluff from your shirts and stuff then why don’t you get little tufts of fluff in your arm pits? You never hear people talking about picking out their arm pit lint.
I remember a few years back chris would often be picking his lint out of his belly button. I would try to compete but never have substantial crops like him. Do girls get belly button lint? Or is it just the manly hairy body and a few Italian women?
And is toe jam and that black stuff that forms under toe nails the same thing? Is that just fluff from your socks?
So many things to ponder.

even if you can’t compete with chris, you still give it a good go.

I recently learnt about how and why belly button lint gets formed. Even if you don’t have big black man hairs on your chest, you will still have small little white hairs around your torso… even the ladies.
These hairs all face downward, ie, point towards your belly button. Any piece of cotton or fluff that comes off your clothes follows the hair highway straight the belly button town and thats how it gets there!

Yes Belly Button Lint has a purpose just like your little finger is used to get the lint out of the belly button

its in the guinnes book of records (2002) as “belonging to plucky Australian Graham Barker, who has collectd 15.41 g of his own navel fluf since 1984…he now owns two-and-a-half jars of this bizarre bodily by-product…Graham’s ultimate goal is to collect enough fluff to stuff a cushion…he claims his navel fluff is in mint condition since he makes a point of immediately storing it in a jar to ensure that it reamins uncontaminate” so yeah, quite funny. it doesnt sound like a lot by wieght but u should see how big the jar is in the picture and consider how much one fluff would wiegh.
