Thank you...

This worked for me:  grep -v "^#" test.html | wget --spider -o log.txt
-i -

You can always preprocess the file using something like:

    grep -v '^#' inputfile | wget -i -

or, if you want to get really fancy with your shell's process
substitution (requires ksh/bash/zsh/...):

    wget -i <(grep -v ^# inputfile)
