Whoa. I typed Command-Option-Control-8 and my Mac's screen inverted.
The inverted image didn't persist in the screenshot I took, so I had to invert it manually to produce this image, but this could be a timesaver.
What wacky key commands have you discovered?

Command-option-equals and command-option-minus (when enabled in Universal Access) for zooming in and out. When giving a technical presentation, this is a wildly useful trick for zooming in on code and making it readable.
@Ben:
Thanks for the Universal Access tip. I noticed a grayscale command there too, which could be useful for simulating the effect of color choices on color-blind viewers.
Open System Preferences and take a look at the Universal Access pane. That's where these controls are.
