I remember growing up I loved playing with lego. (Maybe not as much as my brother who had every Lego set imaginable) Well the lego brick is now 50 years old, and to celebrate I found this very interesting timeline on the lego francise. (Check out the events of 1945)

(Also interesting is that in the early days of Google they used lego bricks as the casings for their hard drives.)
Happy Birthday Lego Brick! It's one of those timeless toys that will probably be around no matter how advanced toys get. Kids love to build, and lego is one of the best!
