I'm a volunteer at our local Observatory (astronomical, not ornithological) and we had a training meeting tonight where a local IT guy gave us a talk on the Antikythera mechanism and showed us the one that he made of Lego inspired by an Apple employee who did one a few years back.
(The original was a cog based mechanism built oh about 100BC to predict solar and lunar eclipses)
