i have found<\/a> a few<\/a> blogs wondering over the weirdness of the belly button lint<\/a> experiment by Dr Karl<\/a> (which i could show if my archives were working – that i blogged a while ago now. yay me!).<\/p>\n

every thursday on triple j<\/a> – dr karl spends an hour on air discussing all things science. people can ring up and ask him questions<\/a> and because he has a really broad knowledge of science he answers the questions, and when he gets stuck listeners can either leave an answer on the messageboard or dr karl will do further research<\/a> on it.<\/p>\n

so the belly button lint experiment started when i reader rang up wondering why belly button lint is the colour it is. i even listened to the show when it all started. woohoo!!<\/p>\n

dr karl is really popular. i think karl said the other week that this huge number of schools around australia tune in to his show on triple j during sciences classes because it’s a great way to get kids interested in science because it isnt the same boring old crap. hmmm – can you tell i am a fan?<\/p>\n
