I'll see you're surfraw; and, I'll raise you a goosh:
http://goosh.org
---maybe gnugol could work with goosh somehow?
---works from an Emacs Shell/eshell too:
** Example/possibilities:
apt-get install surfraw
...
[[eshell:*eshell*:(rename-buffer "vvv")]]
[[eshell:*eshell*:(rename-buffer "ttt")]]
[[eshell:vvv:date]]
[[eshell:ttt:sr wikipedia goosh]]
---provided you have the new org-eshell.el
I agree with Allen; wow you could combine things! Good luck on gnugol and thanks.

On unrelated surfing (reddit), I ran into this:

Do you think it's possible that your two powers combined, would make you
INVINCIBLE?
I don't know how much they dink with the return stream; it may be "not
at all", which would be inauspicious for a combination. But if they're
doing any sort of output capture/filter, then adding an org-mode flavor
to the list might be really straightforward.
