		 That's what I was thinking, Summer. It's not physically possible to not have one- it's formed from the umbilical cord, which connects a person to their mother, meaning they were born. 
 
Was he an alien and I just wasn't aware of it?

				Did Hitchcock have a belly button? 
Believe it or not but I get this question all the time. Answer: Hitchcock being a mamal had to be born with a belly button, its just how it is for us mamals. Apparently Hitchcock had several opperations in the belly area leading his doctors to sow up the bb, but I have never read this from a credible printed source. I suspect its an bizarre urban legend.

because if I remember corectly,all of the feeding vien,congregate 
at on place & are tied off.He may have had operations after,but I 
would think that he had to have been born with one!   Irish

		1. Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning. 
True 
 
2. Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button. 
False....anyone born has to have had an umbilical cord attached to have survived 
        
3. A pack-a-day smoker will lose approximately 2 teeth every 10 years. 
False 
        
4. People do not get sick from cold weather; it's from being indoors a lot more. 
True (my opinion) Germs find it harder to survive in colder weather.....give them a warmer enviroment and they will multiply causing more illness indoors 
 
5. When you sneeze, all bodily functions stop, even your heart! 
True 
          
6. Only 7 per cent of the population are lefties. 
           
7. Forty people are sent to the hospital for dog bites every minute. 
True 
          
8. Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until they are 2-6 years old. 
False...Kneecaps form about the fourth month of fetal life. However, they don’t show up on x-ray very well because they’re not ossified, or bony. 
 
9. The average person over 50 will have spent 5 years waiting in lines. 
           
10. The toothbrush was invented in 1498. 
True 
           
11. The average housefly lives for one month. 
False....About 2-3 weeks 
         
12. 40,000 Americans are injured by toilets each year. 
Well i dont know about every year but in 1998, 48,964 Americans were injured by their toilet  
          
13. A coat hanger is 44 inches long when straightened. 
          
14. The average computer user blinks 7 times a minute. 
True 
          
15. Your feet are bigger in the afternoon than any other time of day. 
True....feet swell 
 
16. Most of us have eaten a spider in our sleep. 
False 
 
17. The REAL reason ostriches stick their head in the sand is to search for water. 
Ostriches do NOT stick their heads in the sand at all 
 
18. The only two animals that can see behind themselves without turning their heads are the rabbit and the parrot. 
False...sheep have a 270 degree range of vision...pigs can also see behind themselves having a 300 degree range of vision.....i'm more than sure there are more animals with this ability 
 
19. John Travolta turned down the starring roles in "An Officer and a Gentleman" and "Tootsie." 
True.....He turned down An Officer and a Gentleman which went to Richard Gere.....unsure on Tootsie 
 
20. Michael Jackson owns the rights to the South Carolina State anthem. 
 
21. In most television commercials advertising milk, a mixture 
of white paint and a little thinner is used in place of the milk 
 
22 Prince Charles and Prince William NEVER travel on the same airplane just in case there is a crash 
True 
 
23. The first Harley Davidson motorcycle built in 1903 
used a tomato can for a carburetor 
False 
 
24. Most hospitals make money by selling the umbilical cords cut from women who give birth.  They are used in vein transplant surgery. 
False....they use the blood from the cord not the actual cord 
 
25. Humphrey Bogart was related to Princess Diana. They were 7th cousins. 
False 
          
26. If coloring weren't added to Coca-Cola, it would be green. 
False

		 #25 ... That sort of affirms the theory put forth in "Six Degrees of Separation" ... that all of us are only six people away from knowing anybody else on this planet. 
 
Is it OK if I skip over Jackko?

		 Here is a fact about #10. The toothbrush was invented in 1498. 
 
Not sure if the year is correct or not BUT it was invented in Lousianna 
The reason I am so sure of this? 
If it were invented anywhere else it would have been named a TEETH brush
