Jon Bing RIIP: Heaps and Towers

The Deaths in 2014 site lists under January 15:

Jon Bing, 69, Norwegian writer and legal scholar

This is the second notable Norwegian who passed away yesterday, with the second being "Tor Milde", the subject of my previous post.   The interesting thing about Jon Bing is that most of the books he wrote had been co-written by another "Tor" re:  Tor Åge Bringsværd.  As to the surname Bringsvaerd, I discovered the following re

From Old Norse verðr (“worth”) adj, verð (“price”) n.

So we now have an addition to the " Cryptic Phrase in Names" pattern-cluster re: "Tower Age Brings Worth".

As to the suname Bing, note the etymology:

bing (n.)"heap or pile," 1510s, from Old Norse bingr "heap." Also used from early 14c. as a word for bin, perhaps from notion of "place where things are piled." 

Since the topic as of late is "towers", I guess a tower can be considered as a bin-- place where things are piled.   Note as well, that his first name "Jon" is an addition to the "John/Joanne/Jack..." pattern-cluster.

So if towers bring worth, then why did the inner twin world influence the destruction of the NY city twin towers?  Perhaps that's how they bring worth ultimately... by drawing attention to their cause... we certainly can't ignore towers going down... it's a shocking rude awakening-- the age that is reigning down on us in a form of a pile of bricks, mortar, steel, glass ... and blood.
