Make A Functional Star Trek Door For Your Home
I love Star Trek doors. You don't have to be a Trekkie to know which doors I'm talking about. I was trying to figure out today what it is about those doors that makes them so cool. I think a big aspect of it is the way they sound. That woooooooosh sound when it opens is so geeky, and it always puts ...
Boxers: Before & After The Fight
I have never been much of a boxing fan, but when Mike Tyson was active, I would watch the fights just to see how fast he would knock the poor guy out. He always amazed people in his glorious days, and I am sure many would consider him to be the best boxer that ever walked the planet. Sure, many woul ...
The Periodic Table Of Swearing
I'll admit that I have a potty mouth every now and then. There are certain situations in life when we just have to let the expletives fly, don't you agree? For example, I've been known to drop a periodic F-bomb when Twitter is down, when getting dental work done, or when my computer crashes and I lo ...
Superheroes At Home: Their Life Between The Deeds
We're all familiar with superheroes, and they are showing up more frequently in our lives. Maybe not in reality but definitely on the silver screen. There are movies being released almost weekly with some kind of superhero connection it seems. The odd thing is that usually we don't really get to see ...
Wall Graphic: Twitter Fail Whale Never Looked So Good
If you are active in social media, I am sure that you have at some point seen the now famous Twitter fail whale. For those new to Twitter, the fail whale is the signal we get when the site is down, which usually happens due to overcapacity or maintenance. For many Twitterholics, seeing the fail whal ...

How To Be The Perfect Pickup Artist – The Tricks [Infographic]
It's not a secret that geeks have a somewhat hard time when it comes to socializing with girls. Whether it is a stereotype that has been created by countless movies or just fiction, I don't know, but we keep on hearing about these stories over and over again. Learning the skills for hitting on girls ...
Recycle Flashmob: The Roar Of A Thousand Environmentalists
If you recycle then you know the benefits of it. It's not only good for the environment, but you also get a few cents for it or whatever. There are still way too many bottles and cans that go missing in the world which litter and pollute our planet more and more by the day.
We are quite lazy when ...

Wings Of Malibu: House Made From A Boeing 747 [Update]
We've reported on several weird looking houses around the world since we first started Bit Rebels, and it seems there are still people out there who want to create innovate homes from things that have been discarded. There is a huge debate going on about whether or not most of the images we have pos ...
When Animals Go Star Wars On Each Other…
When we think of Star Wars, we always think of some kind of lightsabre fight, right? Of course we do, and it's because that's pretty much what makes up the coolness in the movies. We await those fights in every one, and we never get let down. There are of course a ton of things in the movies that ke ...
The Burning House: The Things People Would Save
There are events in everyone's life that we would rather not live through, and if we had a remote control a la the movie Click!, I am sure we would use it more than once through the course of our lives. However, some things are of course good for experience, and without them, we would continuously s ...

5 Totally Unnecessary Facts For When You’re Bored [Infographic]
Every once in a while we find ourselves in the dead space of boredom, and there seems to be nothing we can do to get out of it. That doesn't really happen to me too often. The things in my life keep me busy, and that's exactly the way I want it to be. However, I am a sponge when it comes to knowledg ...
Full Size Lego Bike: Geeks Ride In Style
Do you guys remember when I wrote "Can't Afford A Car? Build A Lego One..." back when Bit Rebels was kind of new? There were a lot of people actually commenting on the article about its authenticity. Some curiously said it was photoshopped (I believe they said that just to stir up a debate), while s ...
The Arrival: Insane Star Wars Lego Diorama
There are a few stop motion videos out there that are all about Star Wars Lego builds and action, but the lack of epicness in them is quite obvious. The scenes are usually narrow, small and sharply cut in order to minimize the effort needed to create something huge in scale. It can be quite boring a ...
How To: Build A Working Urinal Out Of SNES Games
Man, I never thought I'd see the day when I'd wish I could pee standing up. This is totally not fair. Not only is this the geekiest urinal I've ever seen (oh wait, I've only seen a few of those in my life), it’s also the best use I've seen so far for all those old boring as hell sports SNES games.

World’s Largest Working NES Controller
At first, I titled this article "World's Largest NES Controller." I had to go back and add the word "Working" because unlike many of the huge goofy NES controllers we've seen in the past, this one is actually functional! It's so big that the only way to control it is to stand on the buttons. Now the ...
