Other nifty diversions:

M-x life   (Conway's cellular automata, not the game from Parker Bros.)
M-x studlify-text (or something close to that...What the hell does it do?)

Or, more generally, look for interesting commands in the /lisp
directory in the emacs distribution.

On a more serious note, get the ispell spelling checker, and its
emacs interface---they're great! (but they are not part of the standard
gnu distribution yet.)
