Haha, "Boys today, /men tomorrow/"!  (Reads if there was a parental
advisory on the back mentioning "Don't give to girls!").

Back to the original question: yes, I've played with LEGO (and LEGO
Technic later).  But at least here in Germany that's probably the most
common toy after teddy bears, so I wouldn't look for some correlation
between playing LEGO and becoming a hacker or engineer.
