    "#### This lab will build on the techniques covered in the Spark tutorial to develop a simple word count application.  The volume of unstructured text in existence is growing dramatically, and Spark is an excellent tool for analyzing this type of data.  In this lab, we will write code that calculates the most common words in the [Complete Works of William Shakespeare](http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/100) retrieved from [Project Gutenberg](http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page).  This could also be scaled to find the most common words on the Internet.\n",

We also apply the recently defined `removePunctuation()` function using a `map()` transformation to strip out the punctuation and change all text to lowercase.  Since the file is large we use `take(15)`, so that we only print 15 lines."
