my collection marked as a world record. I did, and in the Guinness Book of Records for 2002 I and my navel fluff were presented (on page 131, if you are interested). I have my own website, which I set up in 1998. In 2001 it was presented in the book “500 of the World’s Best Websites”, which made me very proud. So how much navel fluff does a person produce, let’s say in a year? I honestly don’t know. People’s navels are so different, aren’t they? I know that my navel produces around 3.03 milligrams of fluff a day. It may not sound like much to you, but it is like gold to me. The one and only Graham Baker navel fluff collection in the world.
