Mel Gibson comes to Minneapolis?

The other day, as I drove to Éiden's preschool, I saw a normal looking sedan driving down the street with a huge piece of metal pipe taped to the passenger side of the car with electrical tape. The pipe looked like it was about four or five inches in diameter, and it ran almost the entire length of the car, from the trunk to just in front of the windshield. I couldn't figure out why the owner had put it there. Was it taped on merely as a way to transport the pipe to another location, or did the owner know something more about the current economy than the rest of us and was preparing for a Road Warrior future where the pipe could be used as both a battering device and a mechanism to launch flaming projectiles at oncoming cars? I didn't check the driver to see if he or she were wearing half a spiked leather jacket and shoulder pads, so if it's the latter, I guess I won't know until it's too late.
