This is the definition for pipe from the Wikipedia encyclopedia (tubing was pretty much the same definition).

Pipe is a tube or hollow cylinder for the conveyance of fluid, gas and sometimes other materials. The terms 'pipe' and 'tubing' are almost interchangeable. 'Pipe' is generally specified by the internal diameter (ID) whereas 'tube' is usually defined by the outside diameter (OD) but may be specified by any combination of dimensions (OD, ID, wall thickness), depending upon which are considered the most important to the designer. 'Tube' is often made to custom sizes and may often have more specific sizes and tolerances than pipe. Also the term "tubing" can be applied to tubes of a non-cylindrical nature (i.e. square tubing). The term 'tubing' is more widely used in the USA and 'pipe' elsewhere in the world.

3 CAT scans a MRI and some time with the shrink and it's comfirmed. I'm just not right in the head.
