Am I broken :( ?

Newby made me feel all worried. Am I going to die?

Run those two commands without the "wc" and see which numbers are extra.  Then go into the directory of those numbers and see which process they are:
root@Slayer:/proc/26794# cat cmdline
/bin/sh/usr/X11R6/bin/thunderbird

root@Slayer:/proc/26794#
