i'm sure i remember hearing about some uni. physics department using lego bases and blocks to set up laser riggs as the lego block were so well toleranced that they knew they would be the right height to some small measurment.
course could just be an urban myth or something
mine all had teeth marks in them from trying to get them apart after building something.

I could see this being entirely possibly, however.
