I know I'm stating the obvious, but keep in mind that the log files on the 
destination box (or on any firewalls that are set to log) are going to be 
at least 5 or 6 times the size of your dictionary file, even more if you 
use combinations of words like you talk about.  Any substantial poking and 
prodding and you could fill up a partition or otherwise become obvious real 
quick.  Webtrends and the like will also flag you.

Don't forget these too:

"Copy%20of%20bigwinner2003.html"
"bigwinner2003.bak"
"bigwinner2003.old"
"bigwinner2003.tmp"

etc...
