Well Betty James and Richard James were the inventors of the slinky... sooo they must have been born in hollydasburg.. thats where the slinky was originally from soo they must have been born there
The toy was originally called "Slink" when it was invented in the 1940s. The name was later changed to "Slinky" by the inventor's wife, who liked the way the word sounded.

I think that the Slinky original is the best. It's bigger than the Slinky Jr. and will most likely go faster! BTW, I LOVE Slinky! Chow, ;)
The Slinky got its name from a Swedish word meaning "sleek and sinuous," which perfectly describes the way it moves in a continuous flow of undulating motion. Its inventor, Richard James, thought the word captured the toy's essence and appeal.
The length of a slinky when fully stretched out varies depending on the size of the slinky. On average, a standard slinky can stretch out to approximately 2 meters (6.6 feet) in length.
The length of a slinky when stretched out fully can vary depending on the size and type of slinky. On average, a standard slinky can stretch to about 10-15 feet in length when fully extended.
A slinky is a toy that you can play with.
