It's a band name, get it right. - RpgActioN, on 03/06/2008, -0/+16"/s (just in case)"
It's sad that you have to do that, not that I blame you. - NihilistZealot, on 03/06/2008, -0/+16It looks like there has been a few cases of people freaking out over the band name.
The comic references this case:
"On March 2, 2006 at 5:30 am an Ohio University police officer spotted a bicycle attached to the Oasis restaurant bearing a promotional sticker for the band. The officer saw the words, "This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb" and became concerned. The area was cordoned off, and part of the campus was closed for several hours. The bicycle was subsequently destroyed by the Athens bomb squad despite assurances from the bike's owner that it was just a sticker. The owner, a graduate student, was initially charged with inducing panic, a misdemeanor. However, the charges were dropped a few days later. Later the student was awarded money for the damages to his bicycle."
And here are two more:
"A similar incident occurred in 2001, when a police officer spotted and detained a woman at an Austin, Texas peace rally. Her bicycle was also labeled with the band's sticker. The woman was released after the band's existence was confirmed."
"On March 14, 2006 Bellarmine Hall at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA was evacuated because of another bicycle with the band's name painted on it. No charges were filed."
You can thank wiki and my amazing copy/paste skills. - StrangeFamous, on 03/06/2008, -4/+18The shirt had BIOHAZARD written above a radioactive symbol. BURIED FOR INACCURACY.

- blast_flame, on 03/06/2008, -0/+10Do you think a police officer would really care?
- aubin, on 03/06/2008, -0/+8In case anyone wants the context for this: http://www.punknews.org/link/16040
- StrangeFamous, on 03/06/2008, -1/+7Yes, and it succeeded as far as I'm concerned.
- organdonersteve, on 03/06/2008, -1/+6i cant wait for their new cd, i think its out later this month on plan-it-x records.
- SpeakerFTW, on 03/06/2008, -0/+5All the punks to take to the streets?
- pine1045, on 03/06/2008, -0/+4I live in Athens and work for Ohio University. I remember when this happened. The explosion incited a much larger panic than the bicycle did. People in nearby buildings were pretty shaken up until they found out what really happened.
- Zalyster, on 03/06/2008, -2/+6This comment is a lame attempt to ridicule the parent comment for not being funny.
- FantoMelt, on 03/06/2008, -0/+4Dugg simply because this bike is a pipe-bomb is on digg...
cops really should be up on their folk-punk... - RpgActioN, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3Ceci n'est pas une pipe.
- moletimer, on 03/06/2008, -0/+3Awesome cartoon. I thought I was the only one on digg into This Bike is a Pipe Bomb until now. And Nothing Nice to Say, too, actually. Nice one!
- sourceholder, on 03/06/2008, -1/+4Mirror, just in case:
http://qgrab.com/digg_mirror/20071107.gif - RpgActioN, on 03/06/2008, -3/+6Dugg for NN2S in general. I was going to see Mitch Clem play bass with Send Help at some bar near where I live a few days ago but the show was 21+. That sucked so much, I really wanted a copy of their demo.
- Aidje, on 03/06/2008, -0/+3The police officer is just looking at the symbol. It's whoever made the shirt who's confused.
- jeuhrn, on 03/06/2008, -2/+5I give you thumbs up.
- Aidje, on 03/06/2008, -3/+5biohazard != nuclear

This Bike is a Pipe Bomb played for me and 20 other people at a VFW in Alabama like 12 years ago. I felt connected to them because I too was born in a dumpster.. - SeaweedWater, on 03/06/2008, -0/+2i miss nothing nice.
