Puto "Mortuus (vel mortua) a ridendo" rectius esse, non? "Ridentis" est adiectivum (present participle), non substantivum.

You're probably right there, I was thinking the Genative might fulfill the same purpose, but I guess using the ablative is a better choice.

"Vanitas vanitatum, omnia vanitas..."

Sic hodie lexi. Ecclesiastes est liber Bibliorum gratissimus mihi. Legere eum in Latina est ludus.

(I know Latin typically uses a subject-object-verb word order, but what about in sentences with so-called "linking verbs", those that take predicates instead of objects?)

Ah, hic! Illud est quid quaerebam. Id ante vidi, sed eius sum oblivitus.

[Edit: Nevermind. Not what I was looking for...]

Gratias tamen, Olekander. Ebay bona notio est.
