What Was Fire Good Against Again?
And it’s made of Iron!
Iron burns at 2500 degrees Fahrenheit.
(Of course, lighter fluid sprayed onto a fire hydrant burns much more easily and makes for an amusing picture to make a demotivational poster from.)
Now that’s demotivating…
iron doesnt burn dumb ass, it has no point of combustion, it will melt at 2500 F but it cant burn
Iron burns, especially in powdered, woolen, or vaporized forms (a high surface area-to-volume ratio helps). You can see burning iron when grinding steels and iron, and spark testing (for metal identification) sometimes involves heating the metal red hot and blowing compressed air on it to get ignition. Ignition of bulk iron is trickier and works best with a well-heated block of iron in pure oxygen.

only in america.
This would have been so much funnier if the person hadnt described the situation on the second line, we can clearly see what it is, and why it is funny, there was no need to repeat it when something far wittier could have been said….
Correct.
Actually, if it just said “Irony”, we’d be like “yeah, and?” With the second line, it’s pointing out to us that this is true irony and not a lot of the things described as ironic, which there’s usually a heated debate about when someone brings up the topic
This is NOT true irony. This is merely the common ‘irony’ you get here at failblog, where most people don’t know the true definition of the word. The reason people are confusing irony with coincidence is because the younger generations have been inter-changing the two words for so long. Some definition websites have even changed the definition to reflect the new understanding of the word.
“If a diabetic goes out to buy insulin and gets run over by a truck, that is not ironic, it is simply a tragic coincidence. If, however, he gets run over by a truck carrying insulin, THAT is irony.”. -George Carlin
if that’s irony, it means you believe in some god-like being organizing things so the truck with insulin would run over the poor diabetic. irony REQUIRES the mind who creates it.
You’re confusing irony with fate.
not me. why you respond to me?
cos your retarded
Thanks for proving my point that people always need to argue
I note that you didn’t provide the original definition of irony despite holding the position that mine was wrong. The “original” definition is actually kind of lame, because that’d make innuendo irony and heavens know we have enough of those as it is.
Eman is right. Sorry to say, but a fire hydrant on fire isn’t ironic. A fire hydrant that SPEWS fire, on the other hand? That’s a better call. If however, you wish to bear witness to a real ironic fire hydrant, find one that isn’t on fire and causes a home to burn down while attempting to save it. Let me know if you ever find one.
Eman is right, irony in like when you are sarcastic.
Ex:
“I just broke my leg falling of the stairs.”
“Graceful.”
I predict a flamewar about what irony means.
aww
dude…really?
Oh my God, you just made an accurate prediction, tell me more about 1983 please
“Uh, sir, I can’t get to the water.”
It’s called fire hydrant, what did you expect?
Exactly!
If it was a water hydrant (which is redundant) then the fire would be surprising.
“I always wanted to be a fireman, until I learned they put out fires.”
Take that, Alanis Morissette!
This is true irony. The use of words in ways other than their most literal interpretation.
A “fire” hydrant
That’s the irony, whether it was intended or not.
This guy gets it.
Technically the fire hydrant isn’t on fire. It’s a flammable liquid that’s been poured on it that’s burning. When that has been consumed, the hydrant will still be fine and not much the worse for it.
Killjoy.
But the point is it looks like the hydrant is on fire. That it’s fake is a minor detail.
thats not irony its just stupid
Sure. Hydraulic fracking is totally safe. A little natural gas in the water system won’t cause any problems…
I wonder if there’s a dog brave enough to put that out?
Your mom did, and she wasn’t brave, just drunk.
His mom always puts out when she is drunk
She seemed sober last night
Quick,somebody send this to allanis morrisette!
How ’bout a firetruck… on fire?
It’s like rain on your wedding day.
If you’re getting married to a weatherman and he picked the date?
omg thats wins so hard!
Hey there, You have done an excellent job. I’ll certainly digg it and personally suggest to my friends. I am sure they will be benefited from this web site.
