Claims to FameRob 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?

Elton JohnI was at Elton John’s 40th birthday party. It was allegedly the most expensive party thrown that year. He'd hired a French Chateaux for the event.
I was part of the crew for his world tour and I'd only joined the mob in Paris. When I arrived I was shown into the tour managers office where we had a chat. At this time Elton had just successfully sued the Sun for damages when they claimed he was a poofter. (At the time he still hadn't come out of the closet). The tour manger said to me:
"Now you'll have heard lots of tales about Elton taking drugs and buggering other men in the papers. Well, I'm here to tell you that......It's all true. And if you say a word about it you'll be sacked!"
Actually, Elton turned out to be a very pleasant bloke. Contrary to what you here about him he was a real gent. Treated the crew very well and wasn't the hissy, bitchy prima donna that the papers make him out to be.
