Absolutely, and it would be very trivial indeed :) Just don't perform any tasks on it in public and on the go, so you can spot obstacles/axe-wealding murderers etc. coming at you from a good distance :)

If adding prefixes to verbs creates the opposite action to that verb, e.g. embark/disembark. Does that mean that by destroying a house of cards, you had to 'stroy' one in the first place?

Ahhh, the lovely logic of the Irish.....
Middle English stroyen, short for destroyen.
First Known Use: 13th century.
Answer: your question is snookered, mate, you cannot destroy that which is already destroyed, apparently. You're welcome to blame it on the logic of the English language.
The Cats of Kilkenny

"There once was two cats of Kilkenny
Each cat thought there was one cat too many
So they fought and they fit
And they scratched and they bit
'Til instead of two cats there weren't any."

Anon.

What was the cats' names?
