Where did you buy the pipe from, I can't find one anywhere?

Also, is the 1/2 inch pipe inside or outside diameter?

I bought it from http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=24353

The measurement is listed with the pipe, but it's 1/2" across.

I went to the Father's Day page, but I didn't find where to enter into the contest. Where should I look?
