Default What do they collect after stamps and coins?

Largest Navel Fluff Collection

Graham Barker of Tuart Hill, Western Australia, has collected 15.41g
(.54oz) of his own navel fluff since 1984. As a child, Graham had
collections of stamps and coins, and then he took an interest in rocks
after studying a geology degree.

It was only in a bored moment, in 1984, in a Brisbane youth hostel that
he started rooting out his own navel fluff! He is often told he's
crazy, but the eccentric Aussie defends his right to ferret for fluff:
"I think it's really cool to collect something no one else has.

I want to carry on indefinitely." Friends are now used to the shock of
visiting the bathroom at Graham's home in Perth, Western Australia, as
it's here he shows off his spectacular stash of navel fluff.

WANT TO KNOW MORE?

Navel fluff, also called lint, forms when very tiny pieces of fiber
break off the inside of clothing. These tiny fibers gather in the belly
button and amalgamate into balls of lint. The color of navel fluff
varies among different people according to the different color clothes
they wear.

Better to collect one's own navel fluff than other people's...

On second thought, much, much better...
