Disturbing Comics To Make You Laugh (or Cringe)
I'm a big comic book fan. I'm hard to please though when it comes to comedy, so my favorite comic strips are usually the ones with dark, unexpected, even gory humor. I like those comics that take familiar happy characters and turn them into something completely different. Those are really the onl ...
Woman Marries R2-D2 In Official Ceremony
This has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever written about, but I just couldn't resist. I know that sometimes people do things just to get attention, but c'mon girl, did you have to do this?
I knew before today that @bonniegrrl was a big time geek. After all, she is a writer f ...
Not Sure About A Tattoo? Try A Temporary Henna Tattoo!
We've written so many articles about tattoos on Bit Rebels. For over a year, I've been saying in my articles that I'm going to get a tattoo, but as of yet, I haven't taken the plunge. There is just something so permanent about it all. I'm not sure I'm ready for that kind of commitment on my skin ...

This must be my lucky day! I love beer and I love iPads, so this is like my dream come true. Long story short, a team of extremely geeky Yelp engineers built this iPad-controlled kegbot.

A Rainbow Of Rain Boots: Fashion Inspiration
As I sat here contemplating my weekly shoe article, it became clear to me that this week I wasn't going to focus on shoes at all, but instead, on rain boots.
I remember when I was a little girl there were all kinds of fun colorful rain boot options. I had so many different pairs, and I looked fo ...
The Soda Pop Swimming Pool: Would You Swim In It?
I love Diet Dr. Pepper. I drink three or four of them each day. I don't drink any other kind of soda pop. The question is, do I love it enough to submerge my entire body into it? Do I love it enough to swim in it?
It's true; to go swimming in a pool of your favorite soda would mean lots of st ...
Seattle’s Gum Wall: Disgustingly Creative Art!
How have I lived in the United States for as long as I have, and I've never heard about this place before now? I've written about Seattle before, after all, Fast Company magazine named Seattle the most creative city of the year in 2009.
However, I had no idea about this infamous Gum Wall until t ...
Paintings of Junk Food: American Culture Illustrated
I'm not sure if I'm writing about this because my friend @Minervity is eating a big 'ol chocolate bar right now, or if it's because I'm hungry, but these paintings of junk food are making my mouth water.
This series of paintings, called "American Still Life," is Pamela Michelle Johnson's way of d ...
A Fred Flintstone Inspired House: Architecture Inspiration
When I was growing up (in the days before the DVR), I remember The Flintstones would come on everyday at 4pm. I would run to the television to watch it since it was always one of my favorite cartoons.
I got a big smile on my face when I saw these pictures below. This stone house in Portugal is ...
Introducing… Hello Kitty Nerd Mimobot Flash Drives!
It's interesting what can happen in a year. A year ago, I didn't mind Hello Kitty too much. She was cute, cuddly and all over the mall, everywhere I looked. Then, several months ago, Hello Kitty started to overtake my life, showing up in my Google searches and invading my Internet everyday.
I ...
Who Almost Got Cast In Your Favorite Movies? [13 pics]
It's always interesting after we fall in love with a movie to learn which actors and actresses were originally cast but didn't make it into the film. I just read today that O.J. Simpson was originally cast in the first Terminator movie in 1984. Whoah!! Did someone have a premonition back then or w ...

Look what I found! ...
Sculptures Made From Rat Poison Packaging
Ok, by now you know that when I come across something that will put your weird shit-o-meter into overdrive, I have to write about it.
I have no experience with rat poison. Well, other than watching it on the classic movie 9 to 5 which I've probably seen twenty times. However, I feel like I've g ...
Rubik’s Cube Goes Digital To Celebrate 30th Birthday!
Wow, I had no idea that the Rubik's Cube has been around for 30 years. That little colorful brainteaser has some staying power for sure. For its own 30th birthday, the Rubik's Cube is celebrating in two very special ways.
First of all, they've come out with a limited edition wooden cube. That' ...
Crazy Classy Creative Hair Designs
Yesterday Richard wrote an article about the "designer way of cutting hair." Those wild and crazy hair tattoos (which is what they look like to me) got me thinking a lot about hair and all the opportunities we have to express our creativity through our hair.
My hair is long. It's too long reall ...
