24 Creative and Unusual Manholes

If you think that manholes covers are made only to protect pedestrians from falling in – think again. Not only it is a perfect material for doing art, it could be also used for advertising (because if you can think of something, then it has been already used in advertising.) However, using a manhole to imitate a coffee is definitely not a good idea.
