Irony : unexpected opposite but fitting.

If statement 1 is not ironic, then it is ironic thats its not ironic, an
unexpected opposite.

If statement 2 is ironic, its ironic, perhaps unexpected but its not ironic
just because it declares so. Mind you most of sci.logic take statements'
assertions as factual such as "you can't prove me" and make all sorts of
nonsense conclusions about everything, even in this thread. That's the real
irony!
