How To: Pull Out A Tooth With A Rocket
Here's somewhat of a really bad idea for a way to pull out a tooth. Believe it or not, this comes from a father who is trying to help his kid by making sure his tooth gets pulled out with as little suffering as possible. Even if it seems to work quite nicely, it still looks a bit reckless if you a ...

Psychedelic Bacon – Ever Seen a Green or Blue Pig?
I am not a very big bacon eater. Every now and then I order some on a hamburger but that's probably it.

How To: Launch Your Face Into Space
I love everything to do with NASA and space exploration. I read about it all the time. The pictures that were released a few weeks ago of Mars were mind blowing to me.

18 Astonishing Star Wars Sand Sculptures
The summer is getting ever closer, and if it's not already here at least it's not too far away judging from the temperature outside.

Now Iron Man Has His Own R2-D2!
Just a few articles ago, I wrote about how Star Wars and Hello Kitty had joined forces to bring us some strange kind of fusion. Well, maybe not joined forces, but someone put the two together to form what some call "Hello Vader" or "Darth Kitty." I totally think that this kind of creativity is wha ...

This Alien Toy Was Banned Back In 1979 – Is It That Scary?
Today when video games are built up of gore and all kinds of weird stuff, I sometimes think back on some things that were released back in the days when I was young.

Hello Kitty Now in Star Wars and Star Trek!
We have covered Hello Kitty and Star Wars quite a bit here on Bit Rebels.

As we get more and more used to the technologies found and dreamed up for movies, they no longer raises eyebrows when they actually become a reality. Take the Minority Report screen for example.

Like the rest of the world, I've been glued to the World Cup on televisio ...
The World’s First Hotel Made From Garbage Opens!
We've all seen it on the beach and cringed, right? There are so many empty beer bottles, lost shoes, plastic bags... garbage! Apparently in Europe it is an even bigger problem than here in the States.

My very dear friend @laurawalker86, who lives in Liverpool, is in the States now visiting friends in Vermont. As a tribute to her exploration, I thought I would try to find the most interesting nugget of information I could about that state.
