    You know, sometime going on 30 years ago, I stood in Thomas Edison's lab, at the countertop/table he worked at to perfect the light bulb. We were told to look out the window, which we did, and saw where a pile of his failed bulbs had accumulated.

    I never thought they might have been pickle jars, and that he might not have been working on the tungsten filament, as he already had the gerkin.
