Cool. The block chain is a sort of distributed database that contains every transaction since Bitcoin started. The oldest blocks eventually get compressed and "fall off" the end.
It's super technical stuff. It's covered in the whitepaper if you are interested in knowing more about how the system keeps track of the transactions. ;) It's brilliant in my opinion.
