Wikipedia has an article of the same name

Bagpiping?
I have never heard of piping in this sense. As a fan of Irish and Scottish music, I think "piping" means playing the pipes, not laying the pipes. No? Well, is a disambiguation page in order? --Larry Sanger 05:42, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, it is in order. Will do sometimes in the next 5-6 days. Thanks, Milton Beychok 06:20, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- For that matter, "laying pipe" has an idiomatic meaning excluded by the Family Friendliness policy. While I fully understand Milt's usage, piping also is a term in commercial and residential plumbing. "Pipe" is also a term of art in computer science; the version we see in templates and links is a subset of the idea of connecting information flows, but it is sometimes (probably not quite accurately) called "piping" as well.
- I cannot resist, however, citing Robert Heinlein's description of a novice (bag)piper, as a man who looks and sounds as if he has a cat, upside down, under his arm, and is chewing the tail. Howard C. Berkowitz 06:48, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
