I know what everyone is thinking, a color. Duh. Has anyone actually searched on www.google.com or www.wikipedia.org the word purple? Well, I have. On Google, purple is just a color but on Wikipedia it isn't. It's a color and a cipher machine. That's a machine that sends messages in code. The Purple Cipher machine was made by Japan and was used in World War 2 and a bit after. You put your message in Latin and it would send it in a secret code and come out on the other side Latin again.They thought the code was unbreakable but during World War 2 someone did break it, weird. After reading most of the article (I got lazy after a while and didn't read the whole thing) I think I will think of the word "purple" differently. :P
