Manhole covers are round because that is the only shape that will not fall into the hole. For example a square one if turned diagonal would fall in if dropped. A circle not matter how it is turned can't fall in.
As for the bonus Q, my guess is that it doesn't have a shell?

1) so it doesn't fall in the hole and into the sewers
and 2) because it doesn't have a shell?

its so it dosnt fall in the hole if its turned, any other shape would
and
Cashew shells contain CNSL (Caustic Nut Shell Liquid), which is a toxic fluid that is highly irritable to humans. The CNSL, which contains cardol and anacardic acid, is removed during the processing of the cashew

Poisionous Cashew shells (http://www.ediets.com/news/article.cfm/article_id,7210)
Incase you don't want to read. Cashew shells are poisionous because they are related to the Poision Ivory Plant.
I think someone already anwsered correctly though

My question is, what the heck is a powerband? lmfao!
XANDADA was first to get the main question correctly, p@iNn3ck was first to get both. I'll put the powerbands in the mail soon as acme gets some more. The coyote cleaned them out building something to catch the roadrunner:D
All of you guys are pretty good, i'm going to have to make them harder next time.:)
