519 I'm in India on Independence Day, independence from British rule, and it is a national holiday. I am a white Britisher. I visited the temple as a tourist and it was especially busy because it was independence day and the queue was very long. They let me jump the queue and only pay a discounted entrance fee. The same day I visited the independence day flower show and the queue was massive.They let me sneak into a side entrance without paying. Is it ironic that on a day celebrating independence from Britain a white British tourist was able to avoid queuing with the Indians and go straight in?...

522 Is it irony that the inventor of TNT instigated the Nobel Peace Prize? Or was it a forgivable display of conscience and contrition? On a lighter note, the Irish comedian Ed Byrne has a great skit on the song "Ironic" by Alanis Morrissette (who I like, I'm not dissing her) but basically the gist of it is that none of the things quoted in the lyrics are ironic. For example, it's like rain on your wedding day... that's just crappy. It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife. As Ed points out it WOULD be ironic if you gave up trying to do the thing you needed a knife for, but the next day it turns out a spoon would have done. Equally, it's like a traffic jam when you're already late. That's not ironic, it's just unfortunate. If, however, you were a town planner on your way to a meeting to discuss the problems of traffic congestion THAT would be ironic. In fact, the only irony in that song is that it appears to have been written by someone who doesn't know what irony is....
