The Greenpeace people then bought another boat, also called the Rainbow Warrior, which sailed in 1989, and I assume it's still cruising around. "Rainbow Warrior" also refers to an Cree indian proverb. It also also refers to what the University of Hawaii's nickname used to be until it was changed to just Warriors in 2000. As for when it started being used as applied to Lego, it seems that 1999 might be the timeframe. Adrian -- http://www.brickfrenzy.com
