Medieval monks spent a lot of time studying the stars and geometry while trying to discover God's divine plan. Too bad many of the most devout Christians are so anti science nowadays.
Lego vs Legos appears to be another North America vs The rest of the English speaking world thing. A collective noun feels weird to my American ears since they are individual pieces that are countable. It's not a big deal though. I enjoy having different ways of talking.
