the database we love and just hate a little...

The blog, Chemjobber, just posted some new taglines for Scifinder - wonder if the ACS will pick some up?
First 5:

SciFinder: Two weeks in the lab will save you two hours with me.

SciFinder: Find the reaction you want? What am I -- Google?

SciFinder: Destroying your original proposal ideas one hit at a time.

SciFinder: Yes, the Egyptian Journal of Chemistry really does exist.

(Web) SciFinder: Time to get a cup of coffee... in Colombia!

and his very inventive followers have added tons more in the comments!!
