Excerpt from Cat's Cradle

Chapter 41: A Karass built for two

"They were, I think, a flawless example of what Bokonon calls a duprass, which is a karass composed of only two persons. 'A true duprass,' Bokonon telss us, 'can't be invaded, not even by children born of such a union'..."

"Bokonon tells us, incidentally, that members of a duprass always die within a week of each other. When it came time for the Mintons to die, they did it within the same second."
