"Navel fluff" collection weighs a record 22 grams

An Australian librarian has recently enter the Guiness Book of World Records. His unique collection is not the largest stamp or button collection, but belly-button lint. Over the last 26 years, he has emptied out his naval cavity and stored the lint in a clay jar. To date, 22 grams have been collected. Every day he claims 3 milligrams of lint is produced. To further the point that this is a staggering amount, 1000 milligrams=1 gram. This man is now over 22 grams, and he says he wants to double that throughout the remainder of his life.

I'm unsure as to whether this man is pathetic or a pioneer. Collecting his naval lint and storing it up to see how much he can gather is new, but odd to say the least. Most people are not curious as to how much lint accumulates in their bellies, but this man wanted to know. I feel sorry for the guy. Collecting lint probably doesnt go too well with the wife.
