nothing

Another one:

Why is a manhole cover round and not square?
Can you think of two reasons?

Nar · Post by **Nar** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 2:52 pm

1. Transporting round manhole covers is easier, becuase they can be rolled.
2. And most important, because the holes are round.

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 2:03 am

1 is correct
2- Square covers, square holes- what would happen?

Nar · Post by **Nar** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 2:55 am

Maybe the covers would fall through the holes?

?

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 2:52 pm

Wow, I'm surprised how succesful my thread is turning out to be.

Here's yet another stolen riddle:

You and a friend decide to have an egg spinning contest. What can you do to make sure that your egg spins the longest?

Grimar · Post by **Grimar** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 2:59 pm

break his egg

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 3:02 pm

Both eggs are intact. If only it was ever that simple.

Grimar · Post by **Grimar** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 3:08 pm

kick him in the nuts, so he cant spin!

seriusly.... um.. i dont know

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 3:10 pm

No, really(?)

Move along, then, let other people guess.

Grimar · Post by **Grimar** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 3:12 pm

does it have anything to do with salt? i think i remember that there where some question involving eggs that had salt as an solution(sp?)...

like what if you put salt under where your egg shall spin, and the salt kinda "holds" the egg in place
