Whoops! I forgot which thread this was, and went and googled it. Well, now I know, and I didn't before. But I'll have to wait for the next question now.

It's OK I had to google it too. Montalbano didn't give me enough information.

If nobody gets it just go ahead. I am hopping in the bath and then bed. (bluddy bronchitis and being out in the rain)

What is it? Where does it come from? What is/was it used for?

Hmmmm .... methinks "purpura" refers to a reddening - so does "purpurin" refer to something red? Animal, vegetable, or mineral?

I hope you feel better soon.

"Purin" - sounds like something for a vehicle - purring engine. Going along smoothly or just casually going?

"pur" - maybe, just added to make it more casual?

Something to do with teen movement? skateboards, BMX bikes? Scooters? So, not trying to do stunts, but just traveling/going along?

Oh, darn. I just saw

OK then -

John Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright, was a bit of a chip off the old block - an architect and a toy inventor. His most famous invention appeared in 1916. What was it?

Indeedly! He was inspired by watching "earthquake-proof" construction in Tokyo - and came up with those interlocking plastic logs!

Take it away oh abdominal, errr....., abominable one!

I remember a set at my grandmother's house and the "logs" were of wood. I think they were in a cylindrical can and my brothers and I had lots of hours of fun playing with them.

Plastic?????? I thought you were older than that!

"My" Lincoln Logs were made of wood stained brown. The flat roof boards were stained green! They even caused splinters sometimes!
