The Definition of Irony

NP: John Cage, 4'33

A roof repair billionaire falls through his own roof and dies. I don't know if you can make the case for the guy's company being so in demand for roof repairs that he just never got around to his own -- you know, sort of like finding the barber with the worst haircut -- but the story would be really funny if somebody wasn't, you know, dead. Naturally, Fark is all over the "is it really ironic" debate, complete with Alanis references.

Also, would a school in the particular municipality where said tragedy occurred be, by definition, the School of Rock?
