A little off-topic, why didn't you just do "xargs wc -l"?

> But it was only 40 years ago, in 1969, that scientists first confirmed that water existed anywhere besides Earth. Could anyone tell me more about this? Couldn't find anything rel…

You should probably split Linux into multiple Distros. That would be interesting.
