I want to view this picture.  Here is my dilemma:  I'm too lazy to copy
the text and paste it to Firefox so I want to download it with wget and
view it with xv.  What would the syntax be?  The following is what I've
tried.

1.)  wget http://ed.asisaid.com/VnE.jpg | xv -
2.)  xv - < wget http://ed.asisaid.com/VnE.jpg
3.)  xv - < `wget http://ed.asisaid.com/VnE.jpg`
4.)  wget http://ed.asisaid.com/VnE.jpg > xv

None of these seem to work and in fact a couple of them do weird things.
Any ideas of a one-liner that can download and open the JPEG for
viewing?  :-)
