North Korea's apparent nuke test ironic?

Been sitting here thinking today of how irony has a play in life. For those following the news most know that there is speculation of North Korea conducting a nuclear test soon. Now in July they were building up for their missile test right before the shuttle launch then they test fired when the shuttle launched,...guess what. We have a shuttle launch scheduled for Sunday and they are at it again except for this time a possible nuke test instead of missiles. What do you all think? My guess is that they will time the test to correspond to the shuttle launch again. Does anyone else agree with me?

To what ends would they want to do that?

Interesting theory, but what would the purpose be?

Don't know the purpose. I was just thinking how the timing is really ironic.

What exactly makes it ironic?

The timing. Maybe ironic isn't the correct wording but everyone who reads this should get my meaning. Or I at least hoped they would.

I just wasn't sure if that's what you were talking about or not. Thanks for the clarification on that.
