So obvious....? (Posted on 2003-02-19)

Why do you think manholes are round in shape?

(You need to think a little crooked for this )

If the manhole corresponded to any shape other than a round shape, then it will have a diagonal that is larger than the largest side, and the cover can fall in through the hole.

The round shape of the manhole, having a fixed diameter prevents this from occurring.
