I think in addition to round manhole covers you'd find that a manhole cover with any odd number of equilateral sides could not fall in.

I think I'll start marketing square plates. They'll fit into the cupboards better.

However, only the round covers *cannot* fall in. The rectangular
and square ones can, and occaisionally do.

Dinner plates were originally round because they were spun on
wheels. Nowadays it's mostly just because that's what people
are used to.

Not all of them are round. I've seen rectangular and square ones too, and
none of them had fallen in. So if manhole covers are round, that's because
that's one shape they chose to have.

Why are dinner plates typically round?
