Just Try To Keep That Manhole Covered

Officials in Flint, Michigan say they've had to replace hundreds of manhole covers and grates that were probably stolen and sold for scrap. The Flint Journal reported Monday that nearly 400 cast iron covers and grates have been taken from streets in the past year. A cover can fetch $20 from a scrap yard but can cost the city more than $200 to replace. --FoxNews

The law says couples cannot be married in Massachusetts if their unions would be illegal in their home states. -- FoxNews
