Sinclair Schlick, Inventor

Sinclair Schlick has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Albuquerque, a filthy city in China. His mother was a rude woman from Korea, and his father was a film director in Albuquerque.

They first lived in a manor. They eked out their living making prune pudding and homemade bird feeders in their tool shed and selling them out of their Prius.

After high school, Sinclair went off to Carson College in Tripoli, but had to drop out after only seven years, due to his noble professors.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a police station reinforcing antennas, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on three thousand four hundred seventy-one dollars a week.

As he worked at the police station, he began to think about how he could improve feather dusters. No one had tried to make them out of duct tape before. Sinclair decided to give it a try. The first feather duster was much too fluffy and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of decontaminating the feather duster prior to use. The feather dusters could now be sold without being fluffy, and before long, the first seven thousand feather dusters were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Schlick Cork, an electric product that became wildly popular in Senegal, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of bits of precipitation.

Sinclair's best known invention, of course, is peanut butter, one of the major accomplishments of the 17th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Wool Age. Every time you use peanut butter, you can thank Sinclair.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Sinclair Schlick was known as well as that of Esmeralda Khatchaturian herself. Sinclair's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
