Mysteries of the Universe

Where does pocket lint come from? Does someone own a factory where they make it. And how does it get into your pockets. The Lint Fairy? And if so, is this the same Lint Fairy that puts it in your belly button? What is lint anyway? Is it a naturally-occuring substance? Does it grow on lint trees? Or is it mined from deep in the earth? Or is it man made? Like polyester. Or Twinkies. Does it have magical properties all on it's own or is all the magic from the Lint Fairy. Does the Lint Fairy work for God or Satan? I mean, the sneaky little SOB is kinda' shady if you ask me. Especially the belly button lint thing....... hey! Maybe there's two- the Pocket Lint Fairy that works for God and the Belly Button Lint Fairy...... I dunno. The whole lint thing is just confusing.

Its not magical, but it does do something amazing. It holds smells........All kinds of smells! Especially belly button lint. The most wonderfully disgusting scents not found in nature! And it comes in every color of the rainbow..........."Taste the Rainbow" :biggrinjester:

You should form a study group and a committee and apply for 4 million dollars from the government to produce an in depth study on the health effects of pocket lint vs. belly button lint and their impact on society and the world economy.

Chris! Step away from the crack pipe!

I suspect it may be a collection of intertwined microfibers discarded from fabric agitation and abrasion which are subsequently cohesively bound together in a matrix of fatty acids and proteins released from the wearer. Naturally, they collect in the lowermost bowels of your pockets. Now, belly-button lint...I shudder to think about the composition and origins of what may lurk in there.

Jon,
How about that 4 million bucks!

And how exactly do you know this? :smilielol5:

 

[Chris]

Ya' think I could get a couple billion in Stimulus bucks for this one?

 

[glassdave]

I think it has something to do with the dryer, maybe thats where the lint ferry lives. Think about it . . . . the lint trap is always full . . . . your pockets always still have lint . . . coincidence . . . . I think not.

 

[mosi]

False Dave.......The lint falls out of your pocket in the dryer and gets caught by the lint trap.

I know that that there is not room in a dryer for 2 creatures and it has been proven that the sock eating fairy lives in the dryer.

We must figure out, how does the lint fairy get the lint into your pockets?

 

[cigdaze]

I don't see why not. It could be the new fuel for the next millennium.

 

[Tony]

I'l put an end to the mysterey.

I baited the trap with an old peice of pocket.:sifone:

 

[Bobcat]

well easter is coming up so the lint is appropriate for you catholic folks

But since you always seem to get lint in the dryer filter after each drying -- using the same socks or sweater, how many cycles would it take for the socks or sweater to disappear altogether...?
