A toy from my past has a birthday...

It is 75 years since Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen founded the toy firm Lego. For those of you who enjoy toy trivia, the name for Lego comes from the Danish words "Leg Godt" which translates as "Play Well".

I remember Lego being all kinds of awesome, but I have to be honest, I think it's probably more awesome these days. When I was a kid, you certainly couldn't buy Darth Vader Lego! Hell, I remember being impressed as all hell when they brought out spacemen with visors that fucking moved up and down!
