    I think the think that annoys me the most about American English is the use of the word Lego. Saying I have lots of Legos sounds as stupid as saying I have lots of Pokemons.

    I got really distracted by the edit at 0:44 where you can see the spiral skip.

    But, on a more serious note, it's great to see companies encouraging the youth to get into science/tech/eng/math.

    Wicked. A guy at my company made a large space shuttle[1] to demo the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT, and although not as impressive as the Trent 1000, it's still cool to see "toys" being used to get kids interested in STEM.
