Psst...you with the thing

But surely a square couldn't fall through itself. If all sides are the same length then this shouldn't be possible. A rectangle, however, could easily fall through on itself.

[Bozos of Bones]

Erm... you're missing th point. When you take a circular cover, and try to push it through the circular hole that was designed to fit, it won't go through, no matter what side you turn it. When you take a rectangular/square cover, turn it so that one thin side goes through the diaginal, it falls through. Try it at home with some papers and scissors

Never drank a drink to get drunk in my life...and don't really plan to. Oh, and good points all---especially the one about me "needing" more sleep. However, note that college+life=awakeness. It's a simple formula, optimized long ago by those who are in the know.

Oh, and geometrically, a square could fall through itself, as a diagonal is longer than any of the sides.

It is your fault after all---my arms do hurt. Tiredness prevails and the marathon is not over yet so I think that I'll waste a few minutes on IW checking on the thread that I started for no real reason last night at 2:34 AM in the Eastern Standard Time Zone, as defined by a global convention no one really cares about in a time that was too long ago to mention when the birds and the bees sang about the eradication of everyone whose name began with a B but did not end in a W and i comes before e in.

You seem particulary caught up on that point, young cheesecake. Could it be that in Australia, manhole covers are indeed the divine shape of...squareness?

[Hivetyrant]

Nope, they are all round over here. In fact, I remember Billey Conelly(sp?) doing a small skit about it in one of his Australian videos....

[Zuvio]

The manhole covers are ROUND because they rese,ble the infinite loop of sewage: we eat&drink, we go to the toilet, we flush stuff down the drain so it becomes sewage, the sewage comes into the river, the riverwater is purified, we use the water to make food and also drink the water! Infinte looping!

I think it's a symbol of the...Illuminati so that they can smugly (and secretly) boast that they're pulling all the strings....

Think about it;

1-Manhole covers, the foundation on which every civilisation was built, are round.
2-Coinage is round, ever seen a square two-penny? Didn't think so (notes are retangular 'cos they have other symbols of theirs on each respective note...so as not to be too obvious).
3-Frisbees are round. Nuff' said.
4-The Sun AND the Moon are round, both of them. A coincidence? I think not. (There's no such thing as a sphere, it's all a matter of perspective).
5-U.F.O's are round, a well known fact.
6-Pizza's are round.
7-Football, the most well-loved object in the entire world is ROUND, hell every other sport involves a ROUND object, think about it.
8-CD's are round!
9-Rubber rings are round. The preservers of LIFE, the Illuminati control the fates of your life in more ways than one.
10-A square is not round, see how they try and throw off people with that? I was not fooled.
11-THE WORLD IS ROUND! THEY CONTROL EVERYTHING....EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!
12-I'm as mad as a spoon.
