Used to drive by that sign on 880 all the time. Is it still there? Always wondered what the fuck it meant.

The sign is actually part of the U.S. Pipe company - I didn't get it at first either.
But a friend of mine I used to do music with actually took US Pipe as his rap name, and had a photo of him in front of that sign that I saw for ages...
One day, it hit me: it's actually a sort of tag line for a product to stop the porousness of metals when cast -- i.e. holes and the like in weaker parts of the metal. The company makes some sort of product and process to reduce that.
It sounds much cooler though if you don't get the real meaning.
