It just shows how bored I am to be responding to this..

but I'm a woman who has always had belly button lint. Why does he "hypothesize" that men get it more? It's just a theory. It doesn't sound like he's researched with actual humans whether females have the same amount of lint.

I don't get belly button lint. I think it would be fun to have. :P They only just figured this out??? My boyfriend gets belly button lint from his shirts. he only wears black shirts, usually cotton like the article says, and hence the reason the lint is black.

Navel hazing topic

Hitting below the belt here. :P I would like to know two things about the belly button: Why do some innies collect ear wax? And how did the navel become an erogenous zone? :roll:
