For three years, Georg spent his waking hours analysing the contents of his navel. In particular, he used his skills as a chemist to study 503 pieces of lint from within his belly button to create a scientific explanation for what causes a male belly to collect fluff.
The answer, apparently, is a particular type of coarse hair that uses scaly abrasions to collect miniscule fibres from his clothing and drag them into the belly button. Also collected are flecks of dead skin, sweat dust and fat. And if it wasn't gross enough that Georg analysed his own belly button fluff, he also asked friends and family to provide info about their own lint experiences.
But it's all worth it, apparently. He concluded that a guy can avoid lint by shaving his abdominal hairs, wearing older clothes and even navel piercings help reduce the amount collected.
