This is a question Claims to Fame

Rob writes, "My photoshop claim to fame: the way the crop tool greys out the rest of the image? That was my idea. I sent it to the Abobe features request thing back in ooh probably about 1998. (After spending a frustrating day cropping images for a dull
website, and wishing the tool worked better.)"

What crappy claims to fame can you make?

I'm a minor celebrity in a limited field
I've been in the international news off and on for about 6 years for some research I did as part of my doctoral dissertation. I've been on an Australian morning radio show, been on the BBC, and was interviewed by CNN. The CNN segment was supposed to air on September 12, 2001, but they had other news to report that day.

What boggles my mind is that many other people have been doing similar research better and for longer, but I just happened to catch the press' imagination for some strange morphic-resonance reason.

Just proves to me how fickle the press is and not to believe every "new great thing" they seem to pick up on. It's all random chance what catches on and what doesn't.
