I fondly remember all the important mysteries from my childhood; "Where do babies come from?", "If I close my eyes, can you still see me?","Is there a giant, underground goblin kingdom underneath my parents house?", and most important "Where do Legos come from?". In adulthood, sadly, many of these questions have been answered and along with Santa Claus, God, and the Wheedle on the Needle, most of life’s mysteries have been given scientific explanation by my adult brain.

On seeing this site, however, I realized that it still perfectly rational to me that my beloved Legos were grown on huge,Lego trees by magic Lego elves. Turns out, this too was just plain wrong. Anyway, this is a great Flash app that shows how Legos are manufactured. Now if I could figure out how those tiny people drive their trucks into my computer, all would be right with the world.
