Where does the lint that accumulates in belly buttons come from???


Also, when you are drying cloths in a dryer and you come up with missing socks, where do missing left socks go to? Bear in mind all socks that come up missing are from your left foot. I have no idea why. That is just how it is.

It's actually the washer that eats the left socks not the dryer!!! And lint from the belly button is from your pants and shirt rubbing together all day and it just falls in there!glasses

It comes from the shirt you are wearing. Your dryer beats the hell out of the clothes you are wearing. You think that you just wash your clothes, and then you just dry your clothes? But what you don't know is, that your dryer beats the $@&*$# out of your clothes. And during the day, the fibers gravitate toward your belly button, and that is why you have bbl.laugh laugh laugh

I think I'll apply for a Gov. grant to do a lint and sock study. It should only take about 20 years to come up with a conclusion.:wink:

A greater mystery is how do socks disappear in the dryer? I have like 16 different "single" socks. They're white, but different lengths, different cuffs. Where do they go?laugh

As George Carlin once said, 'When you die and go to Heaven, the first thing they do is take you to a room and in it is a pile of all the stuff you lost in your lifetime'. Mostly socks. For me it would be alot of single earrings, a college term paper, a boyfriend or two and alot of nice pens.

Where does the lint that accumulates in belly buttons come from???



Many people find that, at the beginning and end of the day, a small lump of fluff has appeared in the navel cavity. The reasons for this have been the subject of idle speculation for many years but in 2001, Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki of the University of Sydney, Australia, undertook a systematic survey to determine the ins and outs of navel lint. His primary findings were as follows:[1]

* Navel lint consists primarily of stray fibers from one's clothing, mixed with some dead skin cells and strands of body hair.
* Contrary to expectations, navel lint appears to migrate upwards from underwear rather than downwards from shirts or tops. The migration process is the result of the frictional drag of body hair on underwear, which drags stray fibers up into the navel.
* Women experience less navel lint because of their finer and shorter body hairs. Conversely, older men experience it more because of their coarser and more numerous hairs.
* Navel lint's color appears in a characteristic blue-grey. The color is most likely an average of all clothing colors worn.[2]
* The existence of navel lint is entirely harmless, and requires no corrective action.
