Default Secret voice commands?

Has anyone discovered any "hidden" voice commands with the new 2010 MMI?
For instance I know my dealer showed me that if you say "I'm Hungry" you get a list of nearby restaurants. This wasn't detailed in the user manual.

I am sure there are lots of these shortcuts. Has anyone found any useful ones, or a listing anywhere of good voice commands?

The one I am looking for is one that Infiniti has. If you say "Take me home" or "Destination Home" the Navigation guides you home. Is there an equivalent on MMI?

yes if you program your home address into the directory as HOME then say "Navigate to HOME" it will spool right up. As well any destination programmed into the directory can do the same thing. When bluetooth is paired you can now voice dial by simply saying "Call (how the name appears in your phonebook)."
Other fun commands
I'm tired or sleepy (i can't remember which one it is)
I'm hungry
I need coffee
I need money
I need gas (diesel)

I don't think this is really secret, but one I've just started using...say "navigation" then "special destination" then say either "gas/ gas station" or "hotel" (probably more places you can say). Then a numbered list of gas stations come up and you refer to the one you want by number.
