If a company wants what you create by reason of your
employment, it can only mena that they want your
children, if any.

(I suggest you annotate it, "I don't understand any of
this", and sign it).

Any idiot who creates children by reason of their employment, rather
than for some sensible reason (or even no reason), is not fit to be
a parent.  Still, I doubt your employer will be allowed to have the
children.

The suggested annotation probably would do little to help you in a
law suit.

Isn't there a set of latin words (abbreviation?) that indicate that you're
signing against your will? (Something like "c.f."? (Or is that "cantus firmus",
for the main line in the older music?))
