Iraq’s Youngest Professional Photographer Will Only Photograph Peace
As I was looking at some old posts on Bit Rebels today, I realized that we've written about a lot of talented children. Kids these days are so fortunate because they have access to the Internet to gain inspiration and to connect with other kids from all over the world. When they are feeling creative ...
11 Memorable 2011 News Stories Recreated In Lego
It's that time again when we are starting to see all those year-end lists and annual photography collections. I always look forward to those because they are usually the best-of-the-best, and it's always fun to reminisce about the past year while looking ahead to everything the new year will bring.

Cello Wars: A Star Wars Musical Saga Told With Cellos
Music is probably the most common language everyone on earth understands. It's somewhat in our blood, and we feel a plethora of emotions when we hear music depending on what the song expresses. Lyrics are of course not necessary to feel music, and that is why music is such a universal language. We h ...
A Rare Look At The War In Afghanistan Captured On An iPhone
As an American, I know that our country is almost always at war, or at least it has been for the past decade or longer. I don't claim to understand all the tiny details and controversial politics surrounding the reasons why, but sometimes I feel like the leadership in this country has gone to the do ...
Designer Gas Masks: Disaster Fashion For Emergencies
This surprisingly stunning collection of designer gas masks is one of those lovely things that has been floating around the Internet here and there for a few years now, but I just saw them for the first time today. They are morbid and strange, yet beautifully designed, so I knew I had to share them ...
Office Wars: The Nerf Gun Fight You Don’t Want To Join
It's been quite a while since we've written anything about the awesomeness of Nerf guns. The last one I think was an article written by @AndySowards which totally got our readers off their butts to check out what the heck this whole religion is all about. There is actually a whole league going on wi ...
Egypt: A Nation Forced Offline
Since this is not a political blog, we don't usually write about what happens in the governments around the world. However, we do write about social media, and when the government in a country completely shuts off access to not only Twitter and Facebook, but all the Internet, it becomes almost our ...
The Snakebot: Scarier Than Any Real Snake
Politics and war are big business. In countries all around the world, people are dreaming up new ways to outsmart their enemies to "win" a war. However, is there ever really a winner? In my opinion, everyone loses when there is violence in the world.
We've written probably a dozen articles on ...
Support Builders Of Tanks, When They Build Them Like This!
I find it rather interesting that even though pretty much 98% of the world's population is against wars, we still continue to have them. The reasons could be many, but the fact remains that the reasons will never weigh more than life itself. As natural resources continue to be diminished, we will ...
Army Helmets: Their New And Fun Recycled Purpose!
I am one of those people who is heavily against any form of war and conflict. It breaks my heart when a small group of people, apparently driven by greed and power, destroy life for the rest of us on this beautiful planet we get to enjoy for a brief moment in time. I often find myself quoting Jodi ...
Nerf On The Job – Best Way To Deal With The Boss
It would be unfair to say that everyone enjoys their work as much as we do here at Bit Rebels. The geek mojo here is in excessive supply, and we kick off each morning by shooting stuff sideways to boost moral and to hint of another great day at the... uh... keyboard. What do you do if you are supe ...
This Cardboard Warfare Video Kicks Any Action Movie’s Butt!
I think I have just seen a piece of movie history being made. It's true, and I am prepared to stand by my words. I never thought a bunch of guys running around in the woods with cardboard guns, rifles and grenades fighting each other could be so thrilling and intense. I mean, they even have a car ...
Do You Long for Peace in the World? – This Is for You
Wow, I haven't seen anything this powerful in a while. This five minute John Lennon interview about peace, called "I Met the Walrus," won the 2009 Emmy for "New Approaches." It was the first film ever to win an Emmy on behalf of the Internet.
According to YouTube, this is how the story goes, "I ...
The World’s Tiniest Guns – With These There Would Be No Wars!
It's one of the most useless inventions you can ever think of. Some people may argue about it, but really, it is. War is such a waste of time, money and lives and yet our leaders and extremists are continuing to proclaim them in every way they can. Sometimes it's to put fear in us and sometimes f ...
Art Made From A Human Skeleton – Photography Inspiration
Photographer Francois Robert found a wired together human skeleton, used in a science class at a school, at an auction sale. Since he's always loved skeletons, he bought it, but then decided he needed bones that weren't wired together for his plan. Many years passed...
Then he found a box of 20 ...
