HT, I call that sarcasm. Irony has a broader meaning. Not Morrisette broad, but it would be ironic if you said "Lightning never strikes twice" right before it did.

Those are both coincidence, not irony.

See Webster for the extent of irony's definitions.

I should clarify, irony would be if said guy accidentaly hung himself while setting up a noose for which to lynch a black man.

That's not irony. That's poetic justice.

[00:34:00] <Dermy> I do love to manipulate the standard rules of language for opportunistic effect
[00:34:06] <Dermy> Like a grammar hyena, I am
[00:34:16] <Dermy> Munching on the tasty entrails of tradition

[22:26:20] <MuffinSticks> I'm a chocolate muffin with white ears and a striped black and red tail
[22:26:35] <MuffinSticks> And exactly 6 chips

It's irony. Poetic Justice is not a literary device, irony is. :-P

Let's talk about Nick Cave instead. His new(ish) project Grinderman is pretty damn good. I highly reccommend their debut album. O:
