If the chemists of the world really want to become all-star sex symbols and have movies and books written about their glamorous lives, then I say it's time to drop all this "ribulosebisphosphatecarboxylaseoxygenase" and "2,1,5,6-quadrichlorine-1,3-phenyldiacarbonitrile" nonsense when it comes to naming what you make.  Why not call your next industrial solvent "The Sweaty Norwegian," or let agricultural pests know they've got a fresh batch of "Powdered Windshield" coming at them?  Without a slew of catchy names that women can still pronounce when drunk, there is no Cocktail.

Although, now that I think about it, there probably isn't a Cocktail without a large group of studio executives snorting some 2,1,5,6-quadrichlorine-1,3-phenyldiacarbonitrile before greenlighting a project with lines like "Anything else is always something better."  So thanks a lot, chemists.
