Drilling a round hole is easier than a square, hence round manhole covers

Because any other shape could be rotated and therefore fall in unlike a round shape

If it is square it's not a manhole cover it is a grid.

Yes it is round only so that it can never drop down. I found this out when I raised my rectangular manhole cover and it almost fell down the manhole when it was at an angle.
