While searching for a list of english words (for an auto-complete tutorial)I found: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2213607/how-to-get-english-language-word-database which refers to http://www.infochimps.com/datasets/word-list-350000-simple-english-words-excel-readable (archived).
No idea why infochimps put the word list inside an excel (.xls) file.

The second command, runs in a loop for 24 times, and each times doubles the size of the file, by appending it to itself.
One more example:
