To create a new buffer:
'C-x b BUFFER <RET>'
Select or create a buffer named BUFFER ('switch-to-buffer').
This is useful for when you accidentally delete your *scratch* buffer and don't want to restart your emacs process just to create a new one.

I possibly got this wrong but, doing this just creates a new buffer named "BUFFER" not a scratch buffer, using emacs CVS FWIW.
Not if the new buffer is called *scratch* -- it's automatically started in Lisp Interaction mode.
Which you could do for any ol' buffer with M-x lisp-interaction-mode.
The scratch buffer is just a place for "hasty scribbles" -- so any buffer that isn't visiting a file will do, for some things...
