Think you're good with Lego do ya?

I came across this article on my daily trawl of the web and just had to share it.

Did you ever have that kid in your street with supernatural Lego building ability? You'd be half way through your brick shaped starfighter; "It's space loser, aerodynamics don't count" made from mismatched colour bricks and using a misplaced Technic car axle as a laser cannon, while in the same time he'd knock up a scale perfect Imperial Cruiser - and just to really piss you off - a couple of wee Tie-Fighters to go along with it?

Ok, that kid has grown up, is an engineer for Apple and is up to his old tricks again: namely a fully functional replica of the eclipse-predicting Antikythera device. This guy is operating on a level of Geekness that makes your garden variety Nerd gag on their unworthiness; we're talking a big, f*&k off eleven on the Poindexter Index. But just look at the result!!
