fortune
When I first tried Slackware, one of the things I liked was the message of the day being a fortune cookie.
You can often get that today from the command line. For example:
$ fortune If we do not change our direction we are likely to end up where we are headed.
It's somehow reassuring that the sys admins didn't forget to install fortune on the SunRay. Prevents you from taking your situation too seriously. I wonder if they avoided installing the "offensive" cookies.
For a twist on this, you can always ask the oracle your question of the day.
Too bad they don't give you the fortune cookie right there when you login.
