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.

      Now that was funny. Sorry to be a whiny brat. I'm just a bit annoyed by some other things today.

    I find Lego bricks more useful than iPhone bricks. I suppose it's just a matter of time until someone builds an iPhone out of Lego's but does that mean it will already be bricked?
