Sam was now a little more than bewildered to say the least.\u00a0 How could he have been so na\u00efve?\u00a0 When he first met the GM he believed in him.\u00a0 Moreover, he looked at the GM as one of the success stories of what it meant to become an American.\u00a0 That is, come into the US with nothing and rise to great heights.\u00a0 Now he realized the GM was the antithesis of the American dream.\u00a0 Everything about him, including his name was apparently stolen from someone else.\u00a0 Still, the GM had yet to finish with Sam.<\/p>\n
Sam was quickly moved to Dr. Cannuk\u2019s lab.\u00a0 It just so happened that Dr. Cannuk had interest in doing chemistry somewhat related to Sam\u2019s training.\u00a0 So Sam began yet another long journey.\u00a0 It was during this time that Sam taught himself actual laboratory skills and advanced ones at that.\u00a0 Somehow (after much initial difficulty) Sam had synthesized a material referred to as holy grail (in part because it was a pain in the ass to make).\u00a0 He then began to use it and make progress towards his degree.\u00a0 During one experiment (which was actually a repeat of a repeat) out of frustration Sam injected a huge excess of one reagent.\u00a0 Something unusual happened, the holy grail survived.\u00a0 Sam then immediately began to devise his first real invention.\u00a0 Some months later a patent was filed.\u00a0 Unknown to Sam was that The University of Asscrack had omitted Sam\u2019s name from the first iteration of the patent application!\u00a0 When Sam was later allowed to see what was going on he discovered the GM had been listed as an inventor.\u00a0 Despite making numerous complaints to Dr. Cannuk and other people in charge at The University of Asscrack nothing was done.\u00a0 The University of Asscrack even lied to Sam about the ordering of names.\u00a0 Dr. Cannuk stated the ordering was done on the basis of alphabetical ordering of the listed permanent residencies of each inventor.\u00a0 Sam was screwed by the GM yet again.<\/p>\n
When Sam left the University of Asscrack he continued to try and get them to do the right thing.\u00a0 They refused to oblige.\u00a0 Dr. Cannuk (in his last attempt to save his career at the University of Asscrack by kissing the GM\u2019s behind) was nice enough to place the GM as a coauthor on a paper describing unusual chemistry that Sam was the first to discover (as well as propose rationale for in his dissertation and later on the internet).\u00a0 This act was the last straw for Sam and since then he has had no dealings with individuals from The University of Asscrack or Dr. Cannuk.\u00a0 In the end (upon his departure) Dr. Cannuk disclosed to Sam and numerous offals (again not a misspelling) at The University of Asscrack that indeed Sam was the sole inventor on the patent in question (below).\u00a0 This proved to be the only time that anyone at this school did the right thing.\u00a0 To this day the University of Asscrack has yet to correct the listing of inventors on this patent despite the fact it is well documented in Sam\u2019s dissertation, lab notebook, by the fact that Sam was able to prevent the GM as being named a coauthor on any of the journal articles covering the invention, and in the aforementioned email that shows indeed Sam is the sole inventor.<\/p>\n
