A tagline can make or break a website (well, maybe not, but it is cool to be dramatic). Below you will find a collection of the best taglines around the Internet. Some of them are funny, some are clever; but all of them deliver the message! Hopefully it will serve as inspiration.
Hopefully it will serve as inspiration.

If you are like me, then you don’t need many reasons to go see Hot Fuzz when it opens here in the states this weekend. If you are not like me, then I will be happy to provide you with 10 Good Reasons why you should go see Hot Fuzz this weekend. They are as follows:
#10 - Simon Pegg and Nick Frost
2 Men, 1 reason. These guys are comedic dyn-o-mite! Ever since Shaun of the Dead became a cult classic, we have been waiting for these guys to pop up somewhere. And while they have both done other things, nothing has come close to the awesome nature of their performances in Shaun… until now.
#9 - Because Fracture is a HUGE Disappointment
How this film got a 75% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes so far is beyond me. I reviewed it, it stunk. Anthony Hopkins is significantly underused, Ryan Gosling is a bit overused and Director Gregory Hoblit made a film like this before, it was called Primal Fear. That was a good movie, this is not; giving you one less reason to see Fracture and one more to see Hot Fuzz.
#8 - Because they pay homage to Michael Bay and Point Break
Action junkies will love the subtle (and unsubtle) homages to action and fanboy flicks of old. There are copious amounts of Michael Bay references (especially Bad Boys 2) and some neat little references that you have to pay attention for (i.e. a He-Man reference and some old school video game sound effects just to keep you on your toes).

Saving money by surfing the Internet for bargains is delightful, but you can take it too far.
In my companion piece, "10 things you shouldn't buy new," I listed lingerie as one of the items for which you'd best pay retail. There are plenty of other examples where the cost savings don't justify the risks of buying used:

Although Andorra gets few mentions in international travel media, it has plenty to offer visitors in the form of unique culture, romanic art and outdoor activities.
Coming from the United States, tiny countries such as Luxembourg, Monaco and San Marino are intriguing merely for there size, or lack there of. Likewise, the principality of Andorra practically dares visitors to make the trip to the Pyrenees.
Although Andorra’s neighbors - France and Spain - are slightly more well known and contain a few more attractions to draw visitors, Andorra is not without its highlights. Here are the top five reasons to visit Andorra:
Shopping. Andorra can legally sell a wide range of duty free products, such as alcohol, cigarettes and perfume, because it is not a member of the European Union.

The amount of poison in a plant tends to vary with location, age of plant, season, weather conditions. In some plants, the toxin is confined only to certain parts. Additionally, plants normally considered non toxic may have been treated with an insecticide, making them toxic. The following plants may cause toxic symptoms when ingested. Included are plants which may cause dermatitis when handled.
Fourteen Ways To Avoid Plant Poisoning
1. Become familiar with the dangerous plants in your area, yard and home. Know them by sight and name.
2. Do not eat wild plants and mushrooms.
3. Keep plants, seeds, fruits, and bulbs away from children.
4. Teach children at an early age to keep plants and plant parts out of their mouths. Make them aware of the potential danger of poisonous plants.

Auctions are fun to watch and the prices tempting. Should a first time horse buyer buy a horse at an auction? You might come home with a good bargain. But “buyer beware”; you might come home with a big problem.
Many horses are auctioned because it's difficult to sell them privately. The ethics that govern a private sale don’t apply to auctions. An experienced horseperson might be able to pick out a diamond in the rough, but an auction is not the place to go looking for your first horse.
1. Horses May Be DruggedIt’s sad but true, but some unscrupulous sellers will give horses calming drugs before an auction. A horse may appear ‘bomb proof’ at the auction, but once the drugs wear off you may have a very difficult and dangerous horse on your hands. Private sellers can drug horses too, but if you suspect drugging this can easily be picked up in a pre-purchase veterinary exam.
2. Not as Well Broke as they AppearI recently saw a horse go through an auction that I knew had been ‘broke’ a few days before. The horse was very quiet as it was ridden through. Why? Because horses are followers and in the confusing atmosphere of the auction it looked to the only place it knew for confidence—it’s rider. Anyone buying this horse might have thought it very well trained. In reality, it had been barely handled and needed a lot more training and a knowledgeable rider to turn it into a safe, well mannered horse.
3. May May Have Vices or Other Issues Vices such as cribbing, weaving, stall walking, refusing to load on a trailer, biting, kicking and a myriad of other undesirable behaviors may not be apparent in the sales pen of an auction. At an auction, the seller often doesn’t have the same obligation to disclose vices as they would through private sale. Many vices are dangerous or destructive.

Beer is so good that you should be able to do more with it than just drink it then flush it away. I'm bathing in it now, submerged in the sweet smell of Original Badebier Neuzeller Kloster-Brau, a German brew of 16th-century origin that costs $77 per 3-liter bottle. It's blacker than motor oil (and only slightly less viscous), but it's uncommonly delicious. In fact, after I had uncorked the bottle and sampled it, it seemed criminal to pour it into a tub of hot bathwater. This stuff is for my insides, not my outsides.
But when I punch on the Jacuzzi jets, my beer bath foams into an impressive head. Had I known about this possibility before, I would be the cleanest man in North America. After 20 minutes of soaking, I step out, heeding the brewer's advice to towel off without rinsing. I expect my skin to be tacky and tart-smelling, like a fraternity floor the morning after homecoming. But my wife buries her face in my chest and says I smell like fresh bread. The yeast — left in to soothe the skin — had made mine smooth and luxurious.
If Badebier weren't so expensive and difficult to obtain (international money orders or cash only to Neuzelle, Germany), I could become a bubble-bath addict.
The experience started me thinking about other possible uses for my favorite beverage. What if beer were like WD-40 — an indispensable product with hundreds of household uses? The next time your bride complains about all the room it's taking up in the fridge, you could argue that it's not just beer, it's lawn fertilizer, a necessary kitchen-safety tool, and an integral part of a chess set.
And, of course, research shows that, in moderation, drinking beer has significant health benefits. It's time, gentlemen, to make beer an even bigger part of our world. Here are 32 new reasons to love it.
