Mort was a different person. You heathen.
"Heathen"? Guilty as charged. (Also Atheist-Buddhist-Daoist-Dudeist-Erisian-Pastafarian, among other things.)

But I know what I'm talking about in this instance (blind dog/bone, stopped clock twice a day, etc.):

Mort

- [p. 17] "'They call me Mort.' WHAT A COINCIDENCE, [...]"

Not only does 'Mort' mean 'death' in French, but in The Light Fantastic we also learned (on p. 95), that Death's own (nick)name is Mort. Opinions on a.f.p. are divided as to which of these two facts is the 'coincidence' Death is talking about.
