The beautiful ballet of the Finger Narwhals. Buy them, put them on your fingers, wiggle them like crazy and you’ll have an instant narwhal rave. You know, because they are so awesome.

While walking around the bush in Australia, entomologist Jurgen Otto took these beautiful photos of Peacock Spiders performing their awesome little mating rituals, trying to woo female spiders without becoming their lunch instead.
The scientist says, “When I came to Sydney I was a bit bored because there wasn’t enough to photograph but now I don’t want to live anywhere else. I think it’s probably the most beautiful spider in the world.” The arachnid, scientifically known as Maratus volans, is a mere 5mm in size and is capable of quickly escaping a scene and jumping erratically. Yet, what defines the spider best is perhaps its unusual likeness to peacocks.
Like male peacocks with their exuberant tail feathers, the male peacock spiders are equipped with beautifully colorful flaps that rise up like a fan, displaying an unbelievable radiance and richness in breathtaking patterns. The males of this species are the only gender with colorful flaps so as to attract the females. They put on a bit of a show to win them over.

![Photographer Steven Kazlowski spotted this awesome polar bear on the edge of the Bernard Spit in Alaska. While the young bear was simply trying to keep his balance, this wonderful series of photos makes it appear that he was actually doing his best impression of John Travolta working the disco floor in Saturday Night Fever. After this all that’s left to do is a good long strut.

As you know, we love spotting our Horse Head Mask being worn and enjoyed in all sorts of unexpected situations.
This video, posted by donnienakajima back in 2008, demonstrates the “Formal dancing method of GET DOWN” with the sort of peculiarity and zeal that is so awesomely and uniquely Japanese. In the video a person wears our Creepy Horse Mask and an impressively tight pair of red shorts while dancing their heart out to music by Kohmi Hirose.
If this isn’t a celebration of life, we don’t know what it is. In short, we love it. Even if we don’t completely understand it, we love it.
This handsome, bald gentleman graced the cover of the Dale Carnegie Training catalog. He has become a sort of office mascot here at Archie McPhee, showing up on memos, posters in the office and he has been faxed around the world. We decided to make a gif to share Jeffrey’s unbridled enthusiasm with the internet. Enjoy!

![We just wanted to point out that our Horse Mask (and choreographer Sarah Michelson) won an award. That means it’s not just creepy, it’s art! To quote the Whitney Museum of American Art:

Every once in a while something comes along that’s so singularly awesome no amount of description will do it justice and you just need to trust us and our dedication to finding awesomeness to share with you. We love those moments and this is one of them.
What you have waiting for you here is video of the Japanese dance group Wrecking Crew Orchestra performing a very cleverly choreographed dance routine in the dark whilst wearing Tron-inspired, programmed electroluminescent light suits designed by iLuminate. Oh yes, and they’re dancing to the awesome sounds of Daft Punk, Justice With Pase Rock, Crookers, David Guetta, and Flux Pavilion, which sweetens the deal even more. Every time you think Japan has produced all the awesomeness it can muster they raise the bar even higher. Enjoy!
Visit Whudat, Geekologie or Colossal to view another shorter, but still quite dazzling, performance by the Wrecking Crew Orchestra in a commercial for Experia, as well as a fantastic still from that performance (which we were sorely tempted to post here, but we wanted to make sure you saw the performance first).
Now please excuse us while we watch this video again.

Get ready, you’re about to see the ever-awesome George Takei doing his happy dance (much to the chagrin of his husband Brad) to celebrate the funding of his Broadway musical Allegiance.
