With a nod to the great man, how about borrowing Mark Pilgrim's roman 
numeral converter from Dive into Python  (http://diveintopython.org/). If 
you want to get really ambitious you could add an XML-RPC or SOAP call to a 
remote server and convert the stock price of a local corporation or the 
some local weather information (temperature usually) to roman numerals on 
the fly.
