These aren't boring, these are useful.
Is this where I saw Festival mentioned a little while ago?
I got Festival working on my server - which is headless - and scripted the system to read out alerts and messages using the voice synth. It's awesome, I love it, because the server has no screen. (I'm short a monitor, short on space and short on sockets!)
Quick example of Festival in a script for those who aren't scriptishly inclined:
echo "(SayText \"System uptime statistics: $('uptime')\");" | festival --pipe
Reads out the result of the program "uptime".
With the headless server I just went into the RC files and made it read out bootup error messages for me.
Admittedly it's not THAT terribly useful, but if you're really bored...
