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

'sed' - a stream editor. One of the most useful tools that lets you do various things quickly.

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

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