    Why are manhole covers round?

    Going to major in early elementary education in college. Not the highest paying job out there, but certainly rewarding- I love working with kids!

    They are round because the dude who invented them meant for them to be square, screwed up, and was too lazy to fix it. Thankfully, the covers fit the actual manholes!

    Nope! My mom went to Italy with her BF a few years back, but left my sister and I at home :?
    And I've been close to Egypt-- I've been to Israel 5 times, as my immediate family lives there.

    Hmmm... bottled water brand of choice?

    Italy, Scotland, Spain, Germany, Australia.

    I taught for elementary for 3 years, been an at home dad for 7, and will go back to teaching in 2. Loved every minute of it.

    Manhole covers are round because it's the only shape that won't fall through the hole.

    That sucks. My parents did that too - have been all over the world and (when I was still at home) always left me behind!

    I live in New Zealand so prefer to drink it from the tap (tastes pretty good)

    Favourite candy?

    1984-George Orwell. One of only 2 books that I've read in high school (not including summer reading) that I have truly loved (the other being To Kill A Mockingbird)

    How do you like your burgers?

    Vegetarian, with lettuce and mushrooms.

    To Kill a Mockingbird is a GREAT book.

    What is your favorite pizza topping?

    It's a cliche but Pepperoni. But I hated it as a kid. Weird.

    first, WOW.

    second, my 6.5 year old loved it, seemed to follow and enjoyed it. my 4 year old was a bit frightened in spots.

    but I loved it and is a must see.
