My favorite T-shirt is 10 years old, why is there no hole in it from where my navel harvests lint?

Question

Everyday, like normal people, I change my shirt. When I shower in the evening, there is lint in my navel (which I collect and store in mason jars so the government can't use it to sample my DNA). Well, I have had one T-shirt in particular for so long that there really should be a hole in it right were my navel is. Why has this area of my shirt been spared by the lint gathering activity of my navel? Come to think of it, how does the navel collect lint? Do hairy navels collect more lint than waxed, shaved, or otherwise bare navels? Scientific answers ONLY please.

Answer 1

The belly button represents the last part of your body to be connected to the mother at birth, and therefore the last part to be disconnected. Therefore, it is the part where all negative ions drain. (Visualise a strip hanging from an automobile to drain the static and to avoid electric shock). Anyway, the belly button maintains this generally higher negative change, and therefore attracts the positively charged lint, which comes from all inside the tee shirt (the charge is not strong enough to actually draw from the shirt, only to collect the lint which is naturally shed).
