Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?

A square cover can be shifted so that it falls through the hole underneath, ie on edge and diagonally to the hole.
A round one can't be made to go through the hole.....so...

Why is my favourite tea cup a square one?

 

[Judge_Deadd]

Because you like squares.

 

[WillJ]

Because you ARE a square.

i can't believe that this thread is still active

 

[Judge_Deadd]

I'll help you in believing...

 

[Beserker]

How?

 

[Bose]

In respect to the manhole cover one, the answer is that a round cover will distribute the weight evenly over the whole cover, which is advantageous if it's going to be getting run over by heavy vehicles...

Okay, here is a tuffy. I dedicate this to all the Bible thumpers out there. (No offense )



There are 16 books of the Bible in the following paragraph...can you find them?

I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu; kept people looking so hard for facts and for others it was a revelation. Some were in a jam especially since the names of the books were not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to
numbers of readers. To others, it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now for there really are sixteen names of the books in the Bible in this story.

If anybody actually gets this one, you will recieve a great prize*.



* no prize actually awarded.

There you go. I found 'sixteen' 'books of the bible' in the paragraph. Does this count?

Wow! I thought if anyone actually got it, it would be more than a day.

And you are right, there is nothing wrong with being a Bible thumper. I hope nobdoy took that the wrong way.
