Spiderman Product To Make Your Head Spin


Spiderman 3, out this weekend, reportedly cost Sony Pictures in the neighborhood of $250 million. So naturally they’ve licensed the superhero’s image for hundreds of products. Well, if you have an amputee 8-year-old, this item's just for you: The Amazing Prosthetic Arm / Spider-Man Fishing Rod

This product came about as a result of an open source project designing prosthetic limbs-- when an engineer submitted a proposal to combine a prosthetic arm with a fishing rod. Just imagine a happy child writing their own version of the Spider-Man theme song…about their arm:

"Spiderman, Spiderman
Dis-arming neighborhood Spiderman
Can't spin webs-- of any size
But he catches fish, using flies
Lookout-- get hooked by the Spiderman"
