A proposito di John Doe, quando il mai piu' senza diventa impellente.

Tutti sappiamo che "John Doe" e' un nome che viene usato in Usa (l'impiccio linguale - non linguistico era senz'altro evitabile), per indicare una persona la cui identità è sconosciuta, come ad esempio (ehm...) nel caso del ritrovamento di un cadavere non identificato fino al momento del suo riconoscimento. Cosi' almeno riporta wikipedia e a noi basta ed avanza...lasciando dunque perdere il fumetto, la serie TV e perfino il blog (ecco adesso lo linko cosi' lui incuriosito viene a guardare e poi mi cita cosi' mi becco tutti i suoi contatti!!!).
Ma scommetto che qui fuori una moltitudine di lettori da anni si chiede che nome si usi per indicare persone non identificate nei vari (altri) paesi. E ci viene in soccorso Nation Master con una ricerchina niente male. Finalmente soddisfatti, vero????
