If you are running core bitcoin you can easily read Satoshi's first message directly out of the blockchain. The famous "The Times 03/Jan/2009..."

Yeah it's kinda neat. I used jq to grab the hex. Made it human readable. Then strings to get rid of all the junk around it. All you're left with is the message and nothing else.
