For a long time I believed that my belly button grew hair. As my belly button had a little tuft since puberty. I mean there were new hairs then, so I just didn't consider it.
One day the conversation (exposed navels were in vogue at the time) turns to this little tidbit.
Well, you can imagine me putting two and two together and eventually tugging a little plug of dead skin and belly button lint wrapped around a few dozen hairs.
I wish it hadn't been before smart phones. It was one of those things that's so gross you hang onto it for a day or two out of some primordial reverence.

I'm pretty sure that we cut the umbilical cord too short after a baby is leaving the mother's womb.
The umbilical cord's remnants kinda wraps inward into the body, and if it's cut short, it makes a hole later. Leaving it a bit longer would mean that it stays rather flat or sth.
also cats apparently chew on their children's umbilical cord after birth to sever them. which i think if pretty cool. so archaic.
