Once, I really did pull a feather from my bellybutton. It was from my duvet. It was a very odd experience. A story I read on a bath products forum I visit (I know, shhh!) involves a girl who used a bath bomb which was full of plastic stars that swirl around your tub. A few days later her bellybutton gets inflamed and infected and she goes to the doctor, who then pulls one of the sharp plastic stars out of her bellybutton. ---
