I am very sorry to say that I am not very good at being nuetral, so this may need clean up. I cannot detect where it is just my inturpritation, as for if I could I wouldn't have any opinion at all would I? Does that even make sense? --Jellote 16:30, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
- Most of this is exaggeration. Delete. — 205.188.116.197 (Talk | contribs) 16:49, 23 May 2009 (UTC) (left unsigned)
- I don't see any reason to delete this, it's a perfectly appropriate subject to have an article on this wiki. Sure, it could use some revision and cleanup, and the original author went out of their way to ask for other editors to help out with that.

[edit] Irony?
I hate the word ironic. I can never use it correctly. However, I do not believe that it is ironic that water on the knee "is a disease caused by fluids accumulating in the kneecap." Can anyone with an education above 7th grade help?--66.235.23.114 04:52, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I'm a 7th grader (I just finished my 6th grade year,) but it is ironic. They're pouring water on their knees, right? Water is a fluid. "Water on the Knee" is a disease caused by fluids accumulating in your kneecap. They're pouring water on their knees, which is a word-play gag pf the disease. I think this helped... — MichaelXX2

- I have to agree with 66.235.23.114 .. the word "ironic" is not used correctly in this instance. It's just a play on words.

- There are a few different kinds of irony: 1) sarcasm is an example of verbal irony, which is unique in that it is intentional on the part of the speaker; 2) dramatic irony is when the speaker does not know something, but the audience does; 3) situational irony is when there is a disparity of intention and result, for example if a safety device were to cause serious injury (for which there are many tragic real-world examples).

[edit] Ya, this clearly should be removed.
