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 ...
Halloween Gift Ideas To Thrill Any Geek!
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 ...
The Millennium Falcon & The General Lee Morph Together
Now this is original. Who would ever think to combine The Dukes of Hazzard with the Millennium Falcon? Until right now, Han Solo and Chewbacca never really seemed like the redneck type to me.
I remember watching The Dukes of Hazzard when I was very young. Of course, back then, all the girls wa ...
The Monopoly Game Made From Solid Gold
When I was young, I used to love playing Monopoly. I learned so much about managing money from that game. My sisters and I would play it all day long on the weekends. We always thought whoever got to be the banker was the luckiest player since that person got to pass out all the money.
As an a ...
The Emergency Bra: It Transforms Into A Face Mask!
If there is one piece of women's clothing that hasn't changed very much over the years, it's the bra, until now. I can't decide if this is really creative or completely sad. I've always thought of a bra as being lacy, pretty, in white, black or red, and from a place like Victoria's Secret. I've n ...
New World Record Set: The Biggest Burger Ever
Earlier today when I wrote about live crabs being sold in vending machines, it kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. So, now I've decided to write another food article, but this time, something a little more light hearted and fun.
Below is a picture of Steve Mallie who is the new Guinness Book o ...
WTH: Eat LIVE Crab From A Vending Machine
I admit, I like my food to have faces. I'm a meat eater all the way. After I wrote this article about how to kill a lobster in a humane way, I met my friend @veganmeans. He sent me a copy of his fabulous book, and after reading it, I tried not to eat meat for a while.
Since then, I've come to ...
The Granny Panty Chandelier
What is it about chandeliers? In the past, we've featured chandeliers made out of prescription pill bottles, globes, bicycle chains and gummy bears, so why not granny panties? It makes sense, right? Hmm... of course it does!
So, I gotta give well-known video-artist Pipilotti Rist props for cre ...
Tunnels Encompassing: The Chair Of A Million Uses!
There are some inventors out there that have a different view on the world, and how we live in it. It's because of those inventors that we constantly see new and exciting things in our stores every year. I have always found it interesting to see what can be done with things that already exist. We ...
A Fashion Diva’s Dream Car
Why is my mouth watering? It really is! Ok, I might not drive this car in real life. Lord knows my driving is bad enough, I don't need to draw any attention to it. However, dannnnnnnng this is a cool car! It's hard to believe underneath all this artsy goodness is a Honda Odyssey.
Kelly Lyles, an ...
A Steampunk R2-D2: He Ages Very Well!
It seems people will steampunk just about anything these days. That Victorian style combined with punk flare seems to be getting more and more popular.
This particular steampunk creation is near and dear to my heart since I've had a crush on R2-D2 ever since I was a young girl. Maybe if he ever ...
