RIddles.

1.Often talked of, never seen,
Ever coming, never been,
Daily looked for, never here,
Still approaching, coming near.
Thousands for it's visit wait
But alas for their fate,
Tho' they expect me to appear,
They will never find me here.



This one is long but it's for when someone doesnt have nething better to do one day.lol

The pitcher, catcher, and infielders except Allen, Harry, and Andy, are shorter than Sam. Paul, Andy, and the shortstop lost $50 each at the racetrack. Paul, Harry, Bill, and the catcher took a trouncing from the second baseman at pool. Sam is involved in a divorce suit. The catcher and the third baseman each have two children.

I also think it is because the round shape ensures it will not fall through the opening when removing. If it is square or rectangular, there may be a possibility the cover will fall through if it is catty corner or something. I don't know for sure, but just a thought. I also have heard that manufacturing objects in a circular shape cuts down on unnecassary amounts of material, typically lowering the costs associated with manufacturing.
