You just never know, right? Although Iridium or Berium, Strontium, even Hydrogen would be a statistically likelier nick than Tungsten. I mean, lol, tungsten lights up, and then tungsten really lights up.

The explanation was that tungsten is tough. True, but an odd choice. Tungsten doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. Nor is it something that would spring to mind for most people. More likely would be Steel or Titanium (because of the “titanium” credit cards).
