cat /usr/share/dict/words | grep bob | shuf | head -1 | \ parallel open https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title={}
The (notionally) more portable — and less abusive of felines — method would be something like:
grep bob /usr/share/dict/words | shuf -n 1 | \ xargs -I {} curl https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title={}
Thankfully, shuf lets you limit the amount of lines output ...meaning you can save yourself the scads of resources of calling head! =)
shuf
head
Or, if you want to avoid helpers like xargs or parallel altogether:
xargs
parallel
curl "https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=$( grep bob /usr/share/dict/words | shuf -n 1 )"
If you're going to abuse a cat, do so by trying out multiple skinning-methods. =)

All very true, and very good!
