One of my favourites:
fortune -o - shows "offensive" (maybe to some people) quotes, some satirical, some obscene(?), some wise.

apropos - search the man pages headings and descriptions (Useful to find commands)
grep - print lines matching given pattern

'sed' - a stream editor. One of the most useful tools that lets you do various things quickly.
More examples here: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html

Some more advenced use of mkdir:

Code:
mkdir -p media/{films/{fiction,non-fiction},music/{jazz,rock,guitar},pics/{wallpapers,pics}}

The above command will create the following directory structure:
Code:
$ tree media
media
|-- films
|  |-- fiction
|  `-- non-fiction
|-- music
|  |-- guitar
|  |-- jazz
|  `-- rock
`-- pics
    |-- pics
    `-- wallpapers

Sweet :)

Strictly speaking it is an advanced use of bash's brace expansion.
