Is that the original title?

I am certain that not a single CAST IRON man-hole cover has exploded!

Gasses set off by high voltage may have, transformers may have, but no man-hole covers have.

Is there a Taco Bell or Mexican restaurant nearby?

Back Bay in Boston, well, let's just say that it has a similar tilt to that of the SF Bay area as well.

From a historical POV, Back Bay was filled in the the 19th century.

In the 18th century a young Ben Franklin first developed his kite fetish noticing the tug of a kite he was flying. He stripped down, entered the yet-to-be-land filled Back Bay, letting the kite tow him to the other side.

In the 20th and 21st centuries, bums and inebriated students are arrested for stripping down and swimming in the adjacent Charles River...

You can do something about your neighbors’ complaint. Take the muffler off the generator engine.

Wow, thanks. Don't have audio on this computer, so I also had to look it up after you posted. Here's an article I found. Didn't realize it was so recent. Hope the guy recovers.

The Chinese gov't should tell its people that if they see a manhole cover jittering and sputtering like the little lid on their teapot, they should not approach it, should not peer into the little hole in the middle of the cover trying to see what's going on below the street, should not try to light their fireworks in the flames that shoot out around the edges, but most definitely should... RUN!!!... FOR THEIR LIVES!!!

We tried but there is no way to make it less quiet. I need to fence it in, that will help!

We have friends ,from Indiana, who were in Boston for their daughter’s interview at BU. Let’s just say that their stay at the Copley Plaza was less than comfortable.

Now how do you say in Mandarin, “Hey, y’all! Watch this!”
