Titolo: To Bin Laden

The thread "To OK" raised some observations on the 'verbifying' of
nouns and other things that are not verbs.
I was sitting here trying to come out with some new verb of mine, and 
I have a proposal; it is based on  the assumption that Bin Laden will not 
likely die of natural death.
According to how he will be taken care of, I foresee that a new verb will
be born: 'to bin laden' (with the variant 'to osama'). It will be just another
way to say wipe out,  terminate and the like. May be one day it will be 
common to hear and read things like "the criminals were bin-ladened
by the police", or "a terrorist cell was isolated and osamed yesterday..."
Just trying to un-dramatize... :)

Reminds me of the word coined by the late Douglas Adams in (IIRC) the
5th book of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy: "Damascectomy
(nothing personal, Damascus)".

But the situation is getting more and more tragic. I've seen a T-shirt with
"BEEN LOADING for Bin Laden" written on it.
P.S. If Peltio had been born over there, he would surely be a perfect Bin
Laden himself today (to be binladened as he deserves).

 5th book ... trilogy
uhmmm English is more and more... dark!!!!

 But the situation is getting more and more tragic. I've seen a T-shirt
with

Afghanistan?

Well, the Afghanistan has already taken the Towers...

Must have been an Italian one.
The torre is called "castle" or "rook" in English.
Maybe we'd better stop with the black humour before it goes too far.

agree, but...
can (black) humour go "there"?

No, Paolo OK, era una delle trovate del compianto Douglas Adams. Fu
pubblicata la trilogia, poi successivamente il quarto e il quinto volume.
Nel quinto volume 'Mostly harmless' Adams scherzava sulla fascetta di
copertina dicendo 'The fifth volume of the increasingly inaccurate trilogy'
o qualcosa del genere.
Tutti gli aficionados, e sono molti, sanno dunque che l'opus magnum di Adams
č da chiamarsi 'trilogia' anche se, di fatto č una pentalogia.
Se vuoi entrare nel club e non restare a far tappezzeria nelle feste, quando
la gente parla delle due teste di Zaphod Beeblebrok, Stavromula Beta o ti
saluta dopo una cena in riva al mare dicendoti 'So long and thanks for all
the fish' trovi qui tutta la trilogia.

Concludo con una citazione di Douglas Adams, che a me sembra a proposito
"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no
account be allowed to do the job"

Devo essere un fan.
