2011 Top April Fool’s Pranks Roundup [Infographic]
Everyone knew that we would probably go all out on the pranks, either yesterday or today, and to some extent we have. However, blogging about them all would take up too much time, and at least I wouldn't know what to pick in the first place. There are so many cool and unusual pranks out there that r ...
Near Death Experience: World’s Most Diabolical Prank Ever
It's no joke that it was April Fool's Day yesterday and pretty much the entire world was pulling the rug out from under their closest friends and loved ones. The pranks of course varied in their nastiness, and I am sure at least a couple of relationships were broken due to the exaggeration of a joke ...
Money Art: The Awesome Nerdery Of Money Folding
If you have a couple of bucks left over after paying bills (not likely in today's economy but keep reading), you might want to venture out into the land of imagination and create something that will not only give you a project to do for the next couple of hours, but also cheer someone else up with t ...
Star Wars Boba Fett Water Pipe Makes Smoking An Art Form
I am not so much for people who smoke. It will turn your teeth into dark crystallized peanuts in your mouth, and you will have a nasty breath that will ultimately affect your impression when you meet new people. But there are many different kinds of smoking, and to smoke a water pipe isn't really in ...
Yarn Ferrari: Carefully Knitted Using 12 Miles Of Yarn
It's easy to get mesmerized by the splendor of sports cars. I don't think I am exaggerating when I say that pretty much every little kid at some point says to themselves that one day they will own a sports car to impress everyone. As we grow older, we start thinking that a sports car might impress t ...
Analog iPad 2: When Stop Motion Determines Processor Speed
The topics and to write about today are unlimited. You might think that it is because the Internet is near limitless in its many websites and geeky approaches. However, that is of course ultimately wrong. Today is April's Fools Day, and whatever I write about will come across as a prank. So I have m ...
A Card Deck Made With 52 iPhones
Can you believe it? Somebody created a full deck of cards made from 52 iPhones! Maybe not, but it wouldn't be April Fool's Day if I didn't play a prank on you, so you were expecting that, right?
These pictures are kind of blurry, and I have to believe that is intentional, to add to the effect. It ...

How To: Make Beer [Infographic]
The summer is rapidly approaching, and we're looking forward to the time when we can sit in the sun, have a cold brewski, and just kick back for a couple of minutes. I doubt there will be any amount of resting for us here on Bit Rebels, but we'll definitely take some pauses to enjoy the rays of heal ...
Star Wars Lego Sand Crawler Is Beyond Retro
I have no idea why I get so enormously excited every time I find something that is created using Lego. Maybe it is because it's such a genuine and fun way to be creative. It's also one of those inventions that helps you develop your brain to think in 3D. Someone once said that if you can think in 3D ...
22,600 Watt Car Stereo Destroys Phone Book
There are a lot of cool and different kinds of technologies out there that will amaze you, but when it comes to sound, it's a different thing altogether. In my studio I have amplifiers and speakers that can handle up to 2,000 watts if necessary, but playing anything on that level would destroy many ...
The World’s 8 Biggest Baddest Fugliest Bugs
Somebody on Twitter sent me a tweet today that read, "You're so weird, but I like it." I didn't quite know how to take that, so I chose to take it as a compliment. I know I share a lot of really strange WTF kind of stuff with you here, but that's just the way I roll. I can't help it really. I'm fasc ...
Match Art: The Micro World Of A Matchstick
It seems that "micro" is the new trend when it comes to art in all kinds of formats and styles. I recently wrote an article about the micro builds of a Lego force, but in comparison to some of the amazing micro art that is out there, I would put it quite low on the scale. I think we even wrote an ar ...
40 Gigapixel: World’s Largest Indoor Picture Ever Taken
The cameras of today are getting better and better, and the quality is so good that reality sometimes can't match the image. What I mean by that is that an image taken by one of the most sophisticated cameras that exists has more details in it than you would ever be able to see with your own eyes in ...
How To: Get A Fake Social Media Girlfriend That Seems Real
Aww, I have no doubt that super-geeks and nerds everywhere will love this! My only question is, why is it that these types of sites are only created for the guys? Hmm... could it because girls would never be this lame? Opps, did I really type that?
A few months ago, we wrote about a new site desi ...
Even American Idol Sports A Transformers Costume
Yesterday I wrote an article about the awesome cardboard Transformers costume, and it brought in a lot of interest. It's such a unique and funny costume that even I have since watched the video several times just to laugh for a minute or two. But right after I had my tea today, I wanted to explore i ...
