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 was one of the second round of sub-editors on h2g2 when it first started up; I have a thank you card signed by some of the staff including Douglas Adams.

My girlfriend once received an email from one of her former schoolmates (who'd received it through someone he knows from work with whom I have absolutely no connection) which contained (amongst others) an image I had posted on b3ta a few months previously. It is unfortunate that it had been re-saved as a low quality .jpg, making the watermark look like just another compression artifact...

I was also at the same school as Rob Webb of various Edinburgh festival shows, Bruiser, Peep Show and Smoking Room "fame". I was either two years or one year below him depending on whether or not he was re-taking his A-levels at the time in order to get sufficiently high grades to enter Cambridge.
