Oz man's record-breaking collection of 'belly button fluff ' in 26 years | An Aussie librarian has entered the Guinness Book of Records for collecting 22.1 grams of 'belly button fluff ' over 26 years. Graham Barker from Perth has
saved 22.1 grams of lint after 'harvesting' it every day for 26 years and has
even considered stuffing a cushion with his bizarre collection. The 45-year-old
plucks the 'fluff' while he waits for his shower to warm up. The colour depends
on what towel Graham uses. "The whole process only takes about ten seconds and
has become automatic - I don't need to devote much time or attention to it," the
Daily Mail quoted him as saying. Graham first began his record-breaking collection
when he was bored one evening. "I noticed the lint in my navel and became curious
as to how much of it one person can produce "I decided the only way to find out
was to collect it for a while and see. I had an empty film canister with me, which
became a perfect receptacle. "That's all there was to it - no obsession or grand
plan, just simple curiosity," he said. Graham said the amount of fluff he collects
each day depends on what clothes he has been wearing - with thermal underwear
being the most "productive". "I found that having a shower tends to wash away
any lint, so the logical time to collect is just before getting in the shower
each evening. "I turn on the taps then pluck and store while waiting for the water
to heat up," he added.
