    Why do they call them "man-holes"? I mean they aren't shaped like men. 7.7

    thye are called man-holes because MEN (man kind) go into the holes into the sewer to fix things,

    and they are round I'm guessing because it's easier for a human body to fit in a round hole as apposed to a square or triangle.

    And I will restate my answer, it's easier for a human body to fit into a circle.

    It all has to do with the human anatomy, I think.

    If you look at a person from and arial veiw, they look more circular.

    It also could be why when people a fat, they are called round,and are round. Not any other shape.

    And then if you choose to ask me why people are round,
    well that depends on your beliefes.

    Some guys on the bus had this question at one time.

    Their answer was that it was so the Ninja turtles could throw them :

    It probably has more to do with the stability of the shape, though. A square has corners, and corners are a weak point.

    or if they somehow fly up a circle is less likely to puncture someone than a triangle or square

    Mhm let's see. One of the reasons is that you can fit tools across a round hole easier then a square one. The other reason may because it doesn't matter AT ALL.
