Ramble Strip

There's no stripping. (Sorry.) But there's rambling, usually in the area of science, politics, pop culture, signs that are irritatingly misspelled, and religion, or anything that happens to be on my mind at the time. I post on study breaks, so that I don't go insane. Insaaaaaaaane!

Bikes that are not pipe bombs

I heard this on our local news yesterday, and thought it was too amusing to keep to myself. I'm always on the lookout for people who do more stupid things than I do (i.e., getting locked between two doors, or more recently, ripping off half of my face.) And I have a new one (well, actually, it goes between the ripping and the getting trapped - so I'll just call it "untold" instead of "new".) I'll air my stupidity for the world to see later.

For now - let's say you're 28-year-old Ohio University graduate student Patrick K. Hanlin, and you love a certain punk band with the moniker This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb. You want to be a supportive little punk fan and you get yourself a punk bumper sticker. "Where to place this punk sticker?" you pontificate, until suddenly it hits you - "I know! On my punk BICYCLE! Because everyone knows this obscure band (they've been around since the 90s, after all) and would NEVER evacuate buildings on a college campus just because my stickered bike is parked nearby."

Duh.
