New Yorkers love putting things in pipes, don't they? Not content with putting normal things like water, sewage, and gas in pipes, they apparently put steam in pipes, on Roosevelt Island they put a mix of rubbish and vacuum in pipes [1], they used to put the post in pipes [2], apparently they pipe rats to people's houses or something, occasionally once of them puts gunpowder in a pipe [3], and they even put themselves in pipes [4]. It's all very Freudian, they should talk to their therapist about it.
