Do you have a favorite on line database????
I Love databases of "stuff". Varied stuff.
trying to find more.
Here are a couple I like:

The PLANTS Database provides standardized information about the vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and lichens of the U.S. and its territories.
http://plants.usda.gov/

Cosmetic Safety Database
http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/splash.php?URI=%2Findex.php

This site lets you browse every vote in the U.S. Congress since 1991.
http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/

Whatcha got to add?
