I am trying to take a shape (a rectangle stretched edge to edge across a document) and make it ragged looking, with torn edges, etc. Any ideas on how to pull this look off effectively?

Check MyJanee.com, she has a nice simple tutorial.

Not everyone with Photoshop has access to a scanner, Dave. Involving any additional hardware or software beyond PS could be considered "making it harder than it needs to be!"
