My three-year-old has been enjoying the vintage Spirograph set we have. I thought it would be fun to make a javascript/svg version. Code is public domain (just View Source in your browser). What can we deduce about humankind from the fact that we appreciate patterns like these?

You still have a Spirograph? That was one of the coolest toys I ever had.
We got a package for 25 cents in a garage sale. It had a lot of gears, but didn't have the pins. I ended up making a plywood backboard with two posts that you can stick the gears on to.
At the time, Spirograph was almost entirely out of production, except for some puny little kits with a few circles. I recently saw that they've brought it back.
