Thanks Tassilo. 

Forgive my ignorance, I suppose really I was wanting 
to give that function a test-run, by not including it 
in my startup file, but by entering it into my Emacs 
session. Then running (totd) or M-x totd  

Then including in .emacs, and binding to a key later. 

Is this possible, by entering the function into 
the *scratch* buffer and evaluating it somehow. 

Or should I be in a buffer of a more of an 
interactive mode?
