:-)

My mother tells an anecdote of Edison. He had to test hundred of
materials for the filament of the electric bulb lamp he was inventing, but
all of them burnt too soon. Someone told him he had failed, and he replied
that no, he had learnt that those hundreds of materials were no good for
the task.

I read somewhere the one that finally worked was made from carbonized
sugar cane fibers!
