LEGO Brick 50th Anniversary

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can't-wait-for-them-not-to-be-a-choking-hazard dept.

An anonymous reader writes "'The LEGO brick turns 50 at exactly 1:58pm today. This cool timeline shows these fifty years of building frenzy by happy kids and kids-at-heart, all the milestones from the Legoland themed sets to Technic and Mindstorms NXT, as well as all kind of weird curiosities about the most famous stud-and-tube couple system in the world.'" Of course, it all peaked in 1979 with the space set. These kids these days with their bionacle. bah.

    Who cares how accurate it was with an awesome entry like this: "1945 Germany Surrenders, Hitler kills himself, he never got to play LEGO or invade Legoland (take that sucker!)"
