We’re all for parodying superheroes and science fiction, but when it devolves…

Solar Dragonfly Flaps Wings Feebly, Makes Us Sad

James Watts spends his time putting together fantastic insect-bot sculptures, and the Solar Dragonfly is one of the best. The solar panels running down the body actually power the wings, which are then kicked into motion using a pager motor.

Hawks Agree: WowWee’s Dragonfly Tastes Delicious

Wedgies Are The New Superpower

Are Leslie Nielsen and David Zucker funny anymore? Maybe you’ll have an answer after watching the trailer for Superhero Movie, an attempt to make Scary Movie for comic book flicks.

Wow Wee: Dragonfly Video

We’ve been pretty excited about the R/C Dragonfly from Wow Wee, makers of the Robosapien. Then T3 got their hands on one and posted this video.
