Why is a manhole cover round?

That's an easy one - it is the only shape that when removed from the receiver cannot be rotated around in any way that would allow it to fall through the opening (which would make for a bad day if you were underneath it when it fell through).
 
I honestly don't know.....

Why would you know that?

I don't have any idea who or what Honey Boo Boo is. I've heard of it and I think it's a woman, but I'm not sure and I don't care to find out.

OK, curiosity got me.. It's a reality show and she's a sub age beauty contestant. It looks REALLY horrible.

In the old days manhole covers were made in various shapes.These shapes confused the less than intelligent city workers when they tried to put the cover back on.The circular manhole cover was found to be less intimidating as it could be installed in any direction.:rolleyes:

It also is an easily manufactured shape that won't drop through the hole. Squares and many others can drop through.
