"Eluded" means "got away from".  I think the phrase you mean is "alluded to the fact"; "to allude" means "to refer to, perhaps indirectly".  So if I allude to a fact, I make a reference to it.

It is hard to define irony, though I was taught that it occurs when something unexpected happens.  It is easier to see an example of an ironic sitution.  The best one I can think of is from Seinfeld.  George's girlfriend's father gives him a box of cigars.  George gives the cigars to Kramer.  Kramer smokes one of the cigars while he is visiting George's girlfriend's father's cabin with the rest of the gang.  The cigar starts a fire and burns down the cabin.  Ironically, the cabin was burned down with one of the very cigars that once belonged to the father.

I don't have a example, but all you have to do is tell a normal story, than exaggerate the details, like "I was walking through the woods and I met a giant talking frog"  Just make up as much unbelievable stuff as possible, but make sure the main story is believeable.
