Man Collecting Belly Button Lint Since 1984
Poll time. Belly button lint: funny, gross, or a combination of the two? I don’t know about you but I lean towards super f*cking disgusting, so when I heard this story at Gawker that a man named Graham Barker had been saving his own belly button lint for the past 26 years, I basically almost puked into my own mouth. Twice.
According to Barker, he has the largest collection of naval lint in the world, which is, I guess, a feat in itself. He keeps it in jars, all helpfully organized by date, and says it weighs about 3/4 of an ounce. As though reading our minds, Barker told the Daily Mail “it never goes moldy and does not smell.” So I guess there’s that.
Hey Graham, fun fact: you could potentially pick up a normal person hobby like fishing or reading or knitting NO, NOT WITH YOUR BELLY BUTTON LINT, YOU SICKO.
