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?

Dr. Bunhead on fireI did a science demonstration with Dr. Bunhead - before he'd made it to Sky One's Brainiac - and he proceeded to set his head ablaze.
We were out after dark in Wester Hailes, a Trainspotting-ish part of Edinburgh, at a well-appointed youth club to entertain some local kids. Bunhead was doing some fire-breathing as a lark, but due to an unfortunate windshift his head became doused in flaming paraffin. After a precious few seconds of indecision he ran indoors, stuck his burning head under a running tap and was then taken to hospital.
The kids loved it. The grown-ups affected sympathy and concern the best we could, but to be honest it was bloody funny.
Of course, if you haven't seen Brainiac all this will be as dry dust on the breeze to you, but as usual I offer NO APOLOGIES.
And all the best to Tom Bunhead, who is a super bloke and burns well.
