How does bellybutton fluff work?
Where on earth does it come from?
There seems to be never-ending bits of it coming from my bellybutton. Every time I check there’s another bit.
Can it be harnessed somehow? I wonder if it generates emissions when burnt. If not, it could almost be a limitless source of power.

Have I got a bellybutton website for you! http://www.feargod.net/fluff.html
You need to talk to Dr Karl Kruszelnicki from the ABC, he has all the answers!

I was hoping it could be harnessed. I’ve been married for nearly 15 years and I was hoping to have been presented with a jumper knitted from the lint I have discarded over the past 15 years on our 15th anniversary. Apparently it’s not going to happen!
On a related note, I remember one evening in the bathroom showing my days toil to my wife and her being unimpressed. As she yawned and had a stretch I held it near her nose. As she inhaled, up went the fluff! That was hours of ROFL right there.
I spent about three minutes laughing at what Michael just wrote.
I don’t have such a problem. Generally I don’t like belly-buttons. They are bacterial utopias.
Some bizarre male creature appeared on Collectors recently with his overly large collection of jars of belly button fluff.
I left the room and waited till the segment was over, there’s only so much tripe I can stomach.
Jayne if it is the person that I mentioned in the first readers comment (the web link) he is quite normal and not bizarre.
I once remember that Andrew Denton had a bellybutton fluff collector on his show with a jar of the stuff. Happy collecting.
Blessings and bliss
Miss Eagle – same bloke.
And why is it always blue?
If you keep getting fluff coming out of our belly button then you’re probably stuffed. ;-)
‘your’ belly button, obviously. This is what you get for writing at an ungodly hour.
