The Secrets of Navel Lint

...or "belly button fluff" as teh Brits call it. Turns out that an Austrian chemist spent three years discovering that body hair traps stray pieces of lint and deposits them in the navel. Dr. Georg Steinhauser collected his own navel lint for three years (to the tune of 503 pieces of fluff from his very own belly button). Among the new and shocking discoveries emanating from this study, we find: Navel lint is not only made up by fabric; dead skin cells, fat, sweat and dust are also represented in the composite material. No $hit, Sherlock; it'd be more surprising if there was gold in there. What else would it be? Another shocking conclusion which no doubt will beenfit humanity to no end comes from his stunning observation that if hairs are responsible for the deposition, navel lint can be reduced if you shave your stomach.

A small step for one man, a giant leap for Mankind.
