Removing executable bit from files

I don't want to bore you with the details but I've been looking for a nice solution for this problem for a very long time. Today I came across this post:

http://superuser.com/questions/234647/how-to-remove-executable-bit-recursively-from-files-not-directories

chmod -R -x+X *

And life's simple again :)

Thanks to Pabouk (whoever you are)! You made my day!
