OK, what's the big deal with belly button fluff huw. You claim to be the keeper and I want answers goddammit winkeye
Firstly, how the hell does it get in there?

The scientific community is at the moment undecided on what causes belly button fluff. However, it has been reported that people who shave around their belly button do not get it. Also, people who have a navel piercing don't get it.
So, it looks like it's caused by hair. Some scientists believe, though, that it's caused by fibres from clothing - although nobody yet knows why it becomes trapped in the belly button. I find this unlikely though, as it's always blue no matter what colour shirt you're wearing, apparently - though mine is black!

I'll do some more research. By the way, have you ever had psychic experiences with belly button fluff (read my journal)?
