Or (sorry for replying to my own post), something else that just crossed
my mind, assuming you're pasting to your shell using an X selection and
the shell is properly set up for access to your X server: you could
install the package "xclip" and try this:

function xheader {
	wget -O /dev/null -S `xclip -o`
}

which will use the contents of the X clipboard as argument to wget and
save you the trouble of quoting as well as pasting ;-)
