While I think the concept is a good one, I don't think we should be depending on the user having "shuf" installed on their machine.  I don't have it on mine, and I've installed a whole boatload of extra stuff that most people don't have.

I'm also not sure about "paste", although I do happen to have a program by that name on my machine.

IMO, you're better off sticking to more standard *nix utilities.
