This evening, only a half hour before I got this news, I was recalling to myself how in early 2002 -- when bin Ladin was reportedly holed up in a cave, hiding from US air strikes -- a local radio (WOAI) announcer, covering Operation Enduring Freedom, taunted:
"Osama, come out to play-ay!"
He was spoofing the climactic scene of a 1979 cult movie about NYC gangs,
The Warriors -- when the villain taunts,
"Warriors, come out to play-ay!"
I even watched a youtube clip of the scene this evening:

How freaky is that?!
