Cuteness Kills: Jason, Freddie And Meyers Now All Cuddly!
I don't think it has escaped anyone who is a recent visitor and reader of Bit Rebels that I am a horror/thriller movie fanatic. I haven't missed one slasher/gore movie since I first started checking them out back in the '80s, or at least I don't think I have. It's the touch of humor and the thrill ...
How To: Clean The Steps On An Escalator
There are some questions in life that can haunt you forever. For example, "Why is the grass green?" "Why is there war?" "How many licks does it take to get to the bottom of a Tootsie Pop?"

LED Shoe Laces: Bring The Light To The Club!
If I remember correctly, I am sure I have seen this before, like 15-20 years ago during the '80s. Back then it was more of a color and not LEDs. It was some kind of fluorescent color that if put in bright light, soaked it up and then later shined for a number of minutes. They were more like neon ...

Geek Inspiration: Boba Fett Rocket Backpack
Going to school as a child was extra fun because of the new bags we got each year. I remember getting my first back pack, it was Hello Kitty.

Pepper Spray Ring: Keeps You Safe On Your Way Home!
There is a saying that goes "You can never be too safe!" and I tend to agree with that. The headlines of today's newspapers constantly blast out the madness of the world, and with that comes a sense of insecurity. Through personal experience, I have learned that you really have to fade everything ...

The Coffee Cup With A Dancing Girl Inside!
This kind of minimalist, detailed, insanely creative design makes me wonder, exactly what frame of mind does a person have to be in to even think of something like this? I mean seriously, this is nuts!
What do you think this is a picture of below? What exactly do you think you are looking at? ...

WTH: Welcome To The Fake Nail Olympics
I tried to keep a straight face when I was reading about this on Daily Mail, but then I got to the sentence that read, "This is one of the most important competitions in the world," and I couldn't help but start laughing.
It's true, apparently there is an event called Nailympics, and it's been he ...
Creative Pop Tarts On A Stick: Yummm!
I've been saying for months that I want to write an article about all the different foods on sticks. These days it seems like almost everything comes on a stick, doesn't it? I even had a friend tell me today that she ordered waffles on a stick at a restaurant.
When I saw this food, which is one ...

This drawing machine, by Joseph Griffiths, is a crazy looking bicycle that create ...
The Cassette Tape Wallet: Retro With A Twist
What is it with our cassette tape fascination? We've written so many articles about cassette tape inspired products, and it seems more and more are being created each day. Is it just because we love everything retro, or is there more to it than that?
