It was clouded when she was there?
She did it in winter?
She were surrounded by people while lying there?(blocked the sun)
Or she forgot to take all her clothes off?(She wanted an overall tan)
Some guys was on top of her the whole time 
She only has her back up, so her front didn't get a tan?
So many answers.. ^_^

This may require some thought. You take your squares, for instance. A square cover you can tip up on edge and drop through the hole on the diagonal, if you follow me. Similarly with ovals. A circular hole, however, will defy the most determined efforts in this regard. (Bear in mind that there's a lip around the inside of the manhole that the cover rests on; this effectively makes the diameter of the manhole an inch or so less than that of the cover.) This means manholes are one of the few things in the universe that are absolutely goofproof.
The Teeming Millions have pointed out at exasperating length that it's not an equilateral triangle that won't fall into the manhole but a Rouleaux triangle--the kind in which each side consists of an arc centered on the opposite vertex (or at least that's one way to do it). A puffy triangle, if you will. An equilateral triangle can be dropped into the manhole by positioning it so that one of the altitudes is parallel and close to one side of the hole (you geometry lovers know what I mean). A Rouleaux triangle, however, is a constant-diameter shape, and can't be. As usual, blame Little Ed. I'm not saying it's his fault, just that you should blame him.

The first reason is because a man hole is round, so a larger, lipped cover is the most suitable shape to cover it
The second reason would be to why are both the cover and the hole round, that's so that it has an equal diameter from anywhere, and you can enter/exit from any angle which is necessary going underground/above ground.

nope. whenever something is round, it goes in something round (except a pizza and CD).

Sry
but I got this one.
Manhole covers are round in order to ensure that the "cover" does not fall into the "manhole" while you are opening it.
If it was a square or any other shape, it is phyiscally possible that the cover can pass through the hole. However, since the cover and the mouth of the manhole are round, and, since the diameter of the cover is longer than the diameter of the hole there is no way that the cover will pass through the manhole - even if you try hard

circle is the shape with minimum area so that if you spin it along it's center axsis it will continue to cover the manhole, regardless of the shape of the manhole (with all the benefits this situation implies). Minimum area implies less money and there you go ... (I hope!  )
Very nice thread by the way (  ). Hope it is not too late to be a part in it.
