Cheap Theropy

^ spelling - supposed to be therapy.. sorry!

Most command-line-type people have already seen this, but for the rest of us, here's a cool trick. Open up terminal, and type emacs. Once it opens, press shift-esc, then type xdoctor. You may now talk to Eliza, a therapist who will charge nothing. Useless, but fun

Here's another useless-but-fun thing, while I'm at it:

Instead of typing in xdoctor try typing in tetris.
Fun for hours. Emacs is loaded with fun stuff, the AI is surprisingly fun but gets old quickly.

After using emacs a few times, I fully understand why there's a built-in therapy function...
