this bike is a pipe bomb

That was what the sticker on a bike parked outside an Ohio University building read.

this bike is a pipe bomb

An Athens, Ohio police officer noticed the bike. Four buildings were evacuated on campus, the area was cordoned off for two blocks, and a bomb squad from Columbus, 65 miles away, was called in.

They took the bike apart and didn't find anything. Turns out "this bike is a pipe bomb" is the name of a punk band from Florida. Find them on Plan-It-X Records.

I remember seeing a "Flatus" sticker at the Market Street Square restroom eons ago.

Flatus - cool band name.
