Where does the dust come from?

I spent Sunday cleaning my house with a little help from my fluffy pink sis who is bunking in my place and thus forced to chip in the house chores. (haha!)

I thought that it was clean all along, but the amount of dust sis managed to sweep up filled two whole dustpans. There was enough hair in there to make a wig! A scary wig that would be possessed and scare the bejesus out of people in some Korean horror movie.

Anyway, whilst I was cleaning house, I mused aloud “Where is the dust coming from?” and sis’s nonchalant answer was “From you!”

According to her, we shed skin which then turns to dust. Erm… I’m not quite sure I believe her :P That means I have bits of me all over the house, and if I collected enough, I could just pile them up, add hot water and create a mini me! No?

I stay more than 20 floors above the ground. So, where does all the dust in my house come from?!
