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?

It'll Never WorkI was on CBBC's 'Deliberately-Crap Inventions' programme 'It'll Never Work' in...ooh...about 1994, with my invention, the 'Move-A-Loo'. A portable toilet in a tartan rucksack on telescopic poles.
It got to the final, and I went along to the awards ceremony at a greasy spoon in East London. Patrick Moore sat on it when it was exhibited in the Science Museum, and complained there was no toilet roll.
It lost, to a suitcase. But no ordinary suitcase - OH NO! - A SUITCASE ON WHEELS. WHEELS! SUITCASES ALREADY HAVE WHEELS. THEY /DO/ WORK.
Fuck's sake.
