With These Utensils You Can Play With Your Food!
One of the hardest things to do for some moms is to get their kids to eat their food. I remember my mom having a hard time feeding my youngest brother when he was still a baby. She would make those gestures with her hands holding a spoon and make sounds like an airplane or train just to get my bro ...
The 3 Pound Gummy Worm! Yummy!
Most of the people I know have a sweet tooth. We have a custom here in Manila where we often bring something home when we travel, and you guessed it, most people usually bring home sweet goodies from whatever country they went to. Chocolates are the most popular choice, then come the chewy kind an ...
Now You Can Have A Spy Camera On Your Shirt!
I grew up watching spy/action movies. My favorite was 007 because I thought the gadgets he used were totally awesome. I never thought I would be a gadget lover when I grew up. He had watches that not only told the time, but doubled as a recorder. Also, who could forget his shades that doubled as ...

Star Trek Pizza Cutter! Boldly Cut Where No Man Has Cut Before!
Pizza is one of our favorite foods for dinner, and why not? It's yummy, its convenient, and it's a lot of fun to eat while watching your favorite sports channel or movie while lounging around on a Saturday night. We always have pizza when cooking is too much of a hassle, or when everyone is tired. ...
$1,260 Costume: And You Thought You Were Cool!
This year I didn't get the opportunity to get on my Halloween mojo like I did last year (I was, like so many others I am sure, Hannibal Lecter), but I got to see so many cool costumes nontheless. Some were cute, some where scary, and some were just unidentifiable, but that's exactly what Halloween ...
A Guilty Pleasure for Geeks: The Star Wars Plush Toy!
Toys are no longer just for kids, they are now for grownups too. I have friends and family members that collect unique figurines and action figures that are very expensive, and they keep them in mint condition. They even dedicate an entire room to them, or they have custom made casings to display ...
Support Builders Of Tanks, When They Build Them Like This!
I find it rather interesting that even though pretty much 98% of the world's population is against wars, we still continue to have them. The reasons could be many, but the fact remains that the reasons will never weigh more than life itself. As natural resources continue to be diminished, we will ...
How To: Collect Your Farts to Fuel a Cannon
Manley has a dream, a big dream. Now that he's learned how to collect his own farts and store them, he hopes to use them to fuel a homemade cannon. After all, farts are combustible gas.
Let's back up a moment. First of all, I realize that writing about farts is not very lady-like; however, far ...
Gummy Bear Lego: Have Your Lego & Eat It Too!
Is it just me or does it seem like gummy bears are making a comeback? I remember back in the early 90s when gummy bears became super popular. All the cool kids at school ate gummy bears. The red ones were always my favorite.
For many years I didn't see much written about gummy bears, but now i ...
The Storm Flipper: A Happy Drinking Fountain Design
What a neat little design that will make you smile. We've all heard the saying, "Take that frown and turn it upside down!" It seems the Swedish architecture studio, Vision Division, has done just that.
They have taken the concept of bad weather and turned it upside down, and in the process crea ...
Design: The Little Blue Cozy Chair Created From Rope
I rarely write about furniture designs, not because I'm not interested in them, but because I don't often find a piece that speaks to me. However, there is just something about this blue rope chair that I find really interesting. To me, it's kind of like a fancy beanbag chair for adults, without t ...
1989 Flashback: How Lego Bricks Are Made
Out of all the interesting articles on Bit Rebels about Lego bricks, I don't think we've ever covered the most obvious one, which is how Lego bricks are made. Have you ever thought about that before? I've noticed that Lego products are more expensive and higher quality than other building block br ...

When October comes, the first thing that comes to mind is Halloween! It may not be as big here in Manila as in the other parts of the world, but we are getting there. The fun part of Halloween is dressing up in cute or really scary costumes. Not only do kids enjoy this holiday, but also adults. ...
Lego Inspired Fashions: Would You Wear Them?
It's no secret that we love Lego on Bit Rebels. However, the question is, do we love Lego enough to wear Lego inspired fashions?
In Richard's earlier article today about that crazy x-ray dress, he said, "...it seems like fashion designers want us to look odd so when aliens finally arrive on our ...
