Non-Arabs, and many Arabs, haven't heard about Senim'mar, but I know him, very well.
I don't know whether you will find something about it in the search engines, because I invented the spelling... but you can learn a lot if you ask me, or if you have worked for "LaRosse" for six fruitless years (you must read "99francs" of Frédéric Beigbeder to guess who's LaRosse).
LaRosse didn't invent the story. They just copied (again!) from a 1001 nights tale, about a talented architect in Bagdad, called Senim'mar, who built a fantastic palace for a Sultan, where he engineered secret labyrinths. He was the only one who knew about it, so after spending 6 years, working on the labyrinths day and night, prioritizing work above EVERYthing else, the Sultan thought Senim'mar was replaceable, was not "indispensable", and better throw him out, from the highest tower in the palace.
After being pushed to jump, Senim'mar came back to claim his farewell cake. The cook was busy on the phone, the other masons too busy looking from the windows..
Senim'mar was too patient.. he came back few months later, but still, the masons were too busy looking from the windows, and the cook on the phone, and the rest on dildos (-sorry).
Senim'mar was nice enough to come back again, and again and again... decides to go beyond the cook, and talks to the sultan, who threw the cake at him and ran away, behind the doors of his labyrinths..
Senim'mar suddenly discovered that the cake is not his, that the Sultan is a chicken, the cook was a Scarecrow, the masons were zombies, and the castle was a laundry.. he decided that his time was and is worth more than all the cakes in the castle, but he will still get in the kitchen to meet AL. (cf. my previous note: the 13th floor).
