My wife, who considers internal organs to be taste-treats, considers this
stuff to be toxic waste.  Go figure...

Dear Dr. Science,

Why does a lint ball, the same color as his teeshirt, appear in my husband's
belly button every day?
-----------Mary Ellen Ashby, Colorado Springs, CO

Well, your husband is probably far more fashion conscious than you realize.
 It takes a lot of sensitivity and patience for him tro find a teeshirt that
exactly matches that day's belly button lint. By the way, the Latin term for
such lint is "Ocula Hathaway", which also explains why that Hathaway shirt
man had a patch over one eye.  The truly elegant man has a profusion of navel
lint that encompasses all the shades of the rainbow.  So, you see, marketing
and Science have much in common.
