Cultivating the navel:
The first thing I wanted to do was to change clothes and take a shower. But when I took off my sweater, to my amazement, I could see something sticking out of my belly button! I couldn’t believe it: something was growing in there! [truly, the best of the web, via J-Walk]

My brother inadvertently grew mushrooms under the seat of his car. Actual mushrooms sprang up.

I'm hoping it's bogus. I can't imagine someone being proud of this fact.

Even chia pets take longer to grow, and don't get that big so quickly.

If it was a real plant he drowned it by watering daily.

I'm more disgusted by the amount of belly button fluff!! I've never in my life seen anything like that. Given another week I'm sure there would be an Amazonian rainforest in there.

That looks like an oak tree seedling to me. Unless he had an acorn stuck in there for a while I'm calling bullshit.

I don't think it's even a sprout or seedling. More of a branchlet off of a mature tree. Those leaves were not from a fresh sprout. However, I refuse to reload the page to check, even though my navel probably has a thicker pelt anyway.
Though I often contemplate upon my fuzzy, linty navel, I never contemplate upon it with a macro-focus camera. Why? Good God, man! What do you mean, "Why?" For the sake of humanity! For the sake of my lunch! FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!
