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?

Brushes with the famous or not so...1. I have met Darth Vader - OK, David Prowse - in the social club at my old work place. His GF was a regular there.
2. Years ago, at school the detention list nearly always featured the name, Tutu. My brother played rugby with him, Trevor was his first name.
Fast forward to the 1990's, his Dad wins the Nobel Prize and Trev is sentenced to 4 years for a hoax bomb threat on an internal flight in South Africa. He didn't actually serve the time and was pardoned by the Truth and Reconciliation Amnesty Committe on the grounds it was a "political act". I heard he threw a wobbly when he wasn't given a complimentary newspaper by the stewardess and played the "don't you know who I am" card.
He's also been linked with buying nuclear technology from China, bidding for a telecom franchise (it failed as he forgot to put the cheque for the registration fee with the application), walking away from a car accident, tax evasion and running a catfish farm.
