You can set fancy-splash-text in ~/.emacs ; for example:

(setq fancy-splash-text
      '(
        (:face (variable-pitch :weight bold) "
WELCOME TO EMACS!
")
        (:face (variable-pitch :weight bold) "
-%- WELCOME TO EMACS -%-
")))

But if you want to start a browser, then add at the end of your
~/.emacs :

   (require 'w3m)
   (w3m-browse-url "http://www.google.com/")
