Ironic/ Coincidental much?
Edit: Due to Because of a few comments, I'll add the word coincidental so you can pick which one you'd like to think the situation is. I just like irony more than coincidence:).
I just thought I'd point out how it's a little ironic/coincidental that there have been posts about "interns on fire" and now a nearby building is on fire!
Hmm... Suspicious?
DUN DUN DUN!!

Very clever. An intern is actually covering that fire. And a big group of people rushed to the side of the building to watch the plumes of smoke.

Matthew was the first one on the scene...
FrontBurner is reporting that he heard there were orphans in there.

coincidental, not ironic.

That is not irony. It is coincidence. Silly intern.

It also smelled smoky on the fourth floor for awhile. Odd.

I think Trish was going more for the Alanis Morissette definition of irony - which is to say not at all ironic. Like rai(e-ai)n on your wedding day. Really more unfortunate than ironic.

because of, not due to.

Ha, okay I'm done.

Mike--I remember my English teacher used to say that Alanis should have called it "Isn't it a Bummer" instead. He also liked to bring up the rumor that her song "You Oughta Know" is based on her relationship with Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey from "Full House"). Oh well, don't worry Trish. We all knew what you meant.

I'm familiar with the talk of her first big song being about Dave Coulier. They dated for a long time before she told him to "cut-it-out".

Now, Uncle Jesse? He never would've taken that kind of lip from a Canadian.
