Legos are how old?!

When I think back to my childhood, two things immediately create vivid memories in my mind: Ninja Turtles and Legos.

On Monday, Legos turned 50 years old. My reaction: I want to dig my collection out and start building again.

In my first 16 years of life (yes, I played with Legos at 16), I estimate that I spent an average of 6 hours a day (4 years total) assembling an endless list of imaginative creations which spawned from the very limited capacity of my cerebrum.

Now, at 21 years old, I can admit that I actually still have an innate impulse to play with my Legos.

All in all, I feel that I owe a lot of my constructive skills and creative ability to those small plastic bricks.

Here is their impressive website.
