This is a question Claims to Fame

Rob 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?

And the bloke that invented the automated cash machines went to school with my mum.. He ended up having a moleste nervous breakdown after selling the patent for something ridiculous like £500 as he thought it would never catch on.

We went to See "A" play at the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth in about 1997 and when outside one of the girls we were with spent a half hour talking to them about - "The great band we'd just seeen inside" not realising it was them she was speaking to. When they told her it was they, she asked if she could write to the Sun and say that one of them had got her pregnant and they said only if she went halves on the money... They then offered the rest of us to come in the tour van and we randomly stood around basking in fame by proxy...

My hairdresser knew various members of Skeletal Family

/ Edit - Also was near home (Portsmouth) and seeing some tramp gave him 20p for a cup of tea, he laughed but looked rather pissed off. Turned out to be Mick Hucknall who apparently was in Gosport at the time (it was during very long dreads time)
