201 Megaman: Megaman Is Now Every Hero You Can Think Of!

Dissection: The Edible Parts Of The Super Mario Villains
We have covered many things that show the inside of a character. Super Mario got his share of the spotlight when we uncovered what our superhero looked liked inside.

Lipstick Enigma: A Lipstick Installation of Geeky Goodness
In my opinion, there are two separate and distinct types of girl geeks in the world (maybe even more).

When I was a game fanatic back in the days and had my Nintendo NES almost shrined in my room, I used to play ExciteBike. It's a motocross racing game franchise made by Nintendo.

Are you one of those people who rallied out to get the new iPhone 4? Well, then this post might not be for you. The screen resolution for the iPhone 4 is double the size of the iPhone 3G and 3Gs.

A Huge Mona Lisa Mosaic – Created From Burnt Toast!
I don't know how I became the one that always writes about weird art on Bit Rebels. I guess it's true, the mosquitoes that crashed into the billboards to make beautiful bloody art was a little strange.
Oh, and the embroidered bread, yeah, that was a little weird. You have to admit though; the a ...

16 Eye Popping Pixel Sculptures You Have To See
It's like those 8 bit graphics will follow us all to the end of time.

It's almost like we can't get enough of the ...
A Giant Coca-Cola Man Celebrates The World Cup!
Since the Coca-Cola headquarters is about ten minutes away from my house, you can understand that here in Atlanta, Coke is tradition and a legacy all its own. When tourists come here, many times they visit The World of Coke. It's a very special place that is near and dear to us locals.
So, of c ...
