It's what remains of the thing you owe your life to - the umbilical cord.

It's a repository for dirt and sweater fuzz.

Like others that won't go away - something to do with vibrational fields I believe.

My completely uninformed guess for why they don't "go away" would be sexual selection.  Or at least I find belly buttons very sexy.  Why do you think they censored Barbara Eden's belly button?  That must have been one dangerously sexy navel!

Seriously just how random can this forum get? A thread about bellybuttons and its usage?

Mine seems to be only good for collecting lint.

Actually, for 'abdominal radiologists', the 'belly button', a.k.a. the umbilicus is quite interesting - of course these days we often see a variety of 'belly button rings', which most of us dictate as 'umbilical adornments'!  ;D

More interesting, and fortunately quite rare are the various urachal anomalies, four of which exist and are shown below, from a nice pictorial article in RADIOGRAPHICS (one of the many journals that I receive) - these are congenital anomalies that involve the umbilicus and/or dome of the urinary bladder; these can produce a variety of interesting clinical presentations & complications -  :)
