Before you sneer about 'navel gazing'... consider the mysterious world you may be missing out on...

I'm not a microbiologist, but I play with them at work

Lucky microbiologists!

Would an innie carry more than an outie, besides lint?

It's a jungle in there.

Also on the same site there is an album of photos of tattoos that scientists get....fascinating.

Don't get to use the word "oomphaloskepsis" too often, either!

When I was young, girls would go downtown Portland when the ships came in; lots of cute sailors.   



Oh? Really? Never mind.

I heard about this research this morning - it builds upon that conducted by Australia's very own Dr. Karl who won an IgNoble for his research on belly button lint!

Dr Karl Kruszelnicki has made science fun for a whole generation of Australians. A survey at Sydney University, where he holds the Julius Sumner Miller Fellowship, found that one in seven students had chosen their career specifically because of him. Using radio, TV, newspapers, books and the Internet, he's addressed every conceivable question about the universe, from the profound to the deeply inane. Please welcome a man with an unfailingly curious mind and a licence to use it.

I thought the navel was just to keep salt in when you eat celery in bed....

Mine, though, usually has bits of exotic sawdust & wood chips in it...THAT might throw their research off!

As a shorty I have done plenty of navel gazing and many boobs poked in the eye.
