VLVL "Karmic adjustment"

[jbor]

In particular, note how Takeshi mimics Ortho Bob's definition of what a
Thanatoid "is":

    "Trust me -- this is just like insurance -- only different!" (173.5)

    "'Thanatoid' means, 'like death, only different.'" (170.26)

At which point DL readily picks up the slack and tells Takeshi the rest of
the Thanatoid story while Ortho Bob's mouth is full. (170-1)
