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?

Video game tasticI invented a device that changed the aspect ratio of SNES and Megadrive consoles so that their US/Jap 525-line picture showed up full screen on 625 line UK TVs instead of letterboxed and squashed. While my patent application was resting in 12-month limbo while I looked for investors, the Saturn, N64 and Playstation were all launched, with 625-line 4:3 ratio outputs on UK TVs. Bastards. Goodbye £tens-of-thousands.
Never mind though. My brother used to share a house with the sound engineer who did Ned's Atomic Dustbin live gigs. So I found myself in a pub quiz team one Sunday night with Jonn (singer), my bro and his missus. We didn't win.
