Today's Random Fact:

The popular toy company Lego began in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen (7 April 1891 - 11 March 1958), a carpenter from Billund, Denmark, who began making wooden toys in 1932. In 1934, his company came to be called "LEGO", from the Danish phrase leg godt, which means "play-well".



Bonus Fact:

Each Lego piece must be manufactured to an exact degree of precision. When two pieces are engaged they must fit firmly, yet be easily disassembled. The machines that make Lego bricks have tolerances as small as 10 micrometers.
