Lint is predominately a greyish blue

This is probably the most commonly known fact about lint. People often notice that their belly button lint is always the same drab colour. What is less known is that it does actually come in a whole range of colours from bright greens to drab reds. The reason most people only ever see lint of the boring old blue/grey colour is because it is the most resiliant and as such survives. The other colours are all destroyed long before most humans get to lay eyes apon them.

There are many types of lint

Most people think of lint as lint...nothing more, nothing less, just lint, what they don't realise is that there are many different types, grades, and qualities of lint. You may wonder what these types are, or then again you may be dropping off to a pleasant little sleep about now; if you are actually still in the awake state here are the different classifications of lint:

• Belly Button Lint: The most common, the most well known, and one of the most useful. Belly button lint is a sorely underutilised commodity in the world today. It has plenty of wonderous uses including: insulation, decoration, fire fuel, packing material, oil spill extraction, impact protection, and many others.
• Pocket Lint: Another extremely common lint, this one is found in any crevice area within clothing, usually a pocket. The quality of this lint is comparable, but not quite as high as belly button lint. Still, it is a resource we could do better to use more wisely.
• Dryer Lint: Low grade, crap lint. Don't use it for anything important, it's pure filth. The fact that it is available in such large quantities in most people's homes however, means that it is likely the only usable source of lint for lint related works. Sad but true. We will endevour to improve our lint refining technologies so that this low grade lint can be made usable for a wide variety of day to day tasks.
• Lint on certain types of carpets/rugs: Even more filthy and repugnant than the dryer lint. Unfortunately some carpets produce an extraordinary amount of this crud. Avoid at all costs.
• Wallet Lint: a much ignored and overlooked strain of lint that is more prevalent than may be first imagined. Not of particuarly high quality, but then again not all that bad either. Perfectly fine for insulation and other low grade applications.

Putting lint in a particle accelerator gives funny results

A seldom heard of, but fascinating effect is noticed when lint is accelerated up to extreme speeds. As it nears the speed of light lint undergoes a massive, and wonderful transformation. Lint actually becomes a glowing liquid! Amazing but true! (Would we lie to you?) While it only last for a few tantalising seconds, lint has astounded the experts in the field by doing what no other material has ever done before. Once again: Lint, we salute you!
