Woman permanently scarred by hot manhole cover

Eesh. At least it's better than being electrocuted. Note to self: Never, ever, ever, EVER step on anything metal. Ever.

That was the impression I got - that is wasn't just "hot from the sun". presumably they already make them so they wouldn't scar a person in typical use or exposure. :-)

BTW, this reminded me of a bunch of art I saw while in Toronto in July. I wish I cuold remember the name of the girls, but couple of girls have gone all around the world doing rubbings of manhole covers and turning them into hanging art. It's pretty interesting, and a restaurant near my stepfather's house is all decked out in (and selling) their artwork.

A quick Google to possibly locate the particular project that I saw some of the art from revealed this very interesting page, which I shall peruse more carefully later. :-) I just love the name of the site, though!

It's not even possible for "sunheat" if it happened recently... there's been no sun for over two weeks now! So it has to be a problem with the wiring or something down there.
