My favorite is the *BSD yes man page. In fact, the first thing I did after installing Mac OS X 10.0 was to open Terminal and type “man yes”.

My favourite was the man pages for true and false on Linux (specifically, Debian). They said “do nothing, successfully” and “do nothing, unsuccessfully”.
Gold. :-)
