Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

Oh science!
Thou art just so awesomely, amazingly cool!

Delightfully, the actual Antikythera machine did about half-a-dozen such calculations (planets, moon, sun) all at once, displaying the results in at least two calendars. Probably a lego-ification of all of it would be too stiff to turn. But what a great little movie.

Hateful.
