Fun bash stuff
While these are not bash commands, there are a few fun tools.
One is fortune, this displays a random quote on the console or terminal.
fortune
Many pages make a thick book, except for pocket Bibles which are on very
very thin paper.
Another is cowsay which takes an argument and prints a picture of a cow (there are options to change how it looks or to other characters)
cowsay hello
_______
< hello >
-------
\ ^__^
\ (oo)\_______
(__)\ )\/\
||----w |
|| ||
As with other commands these can be combined
fortune | cowsay

Chat
I am on the Devon and Cornwall Linux user group mailing list and also their matrix channel as zleap, it is better to ask there, that way others can answer too.
