If memory serves me right... It was Thomas Edison. Took him 18,000 experiments leafing thru back issues of "stable boy" just before bedtime before he finally "invented" it. When asked how he stayed motivated after failing to invent "no homo" 17,999 times he simply stated "I never failed...I discovered 17,999 ways not to invent no homo."
That year he won the pattaya peace prize for his work and still holds the patent for no homo to this day.
Some believe "no homo" rivals the printing press, the cotton gin and sham-wow as the world's most influential invention.
