A fun easter egg in the "say" command is that "OS X" is said as "Oh Ess Ten".

You can also change voices with -v. My favorite is "cellos" since it sings to you.

Not sure that's an easter egg? That's been the pronunciation for 25 years.

It's at least manually programmed in. Otherwise it would have said 'Ecks'
