I never thought of laundry lint as anything other than a nuisance until I saw the Lint Last Supper. Laura Bell of Roscommon, Michigan recreated Da Vinci's famous painting using nothing but laundry lint.
The Lint Last Supper measures an impressive 14 feet by 4 feet and required 700 to 800 hours of laundry to amass the lint needed. Ripley's Believe It or Not! recently purchased the "painting" and plans to display it alongside its other oddities.
