Unlike the poster, I do *not* find this amusing.

Really, I think it's a horrible way to die. However, if, as the comments indicate, this is very common, it raises an important question.

Why haven't we duckling-proofed our sewer grates yet?

That's good to know :) I *still* don't think it's funny.

And, from reading the comments, this sort of thing happens more often than one might expect, again leading to the question: where are the duckling-proof grates?

Plus, I'd find that an obnoxious thing for me to discover by cane. Of course, most blind people use a method that would prevent that from being a huge problem, but I compromise for support. But it'd also be a nuisance for someone in high heeled shoes.

Most grates I see are more grated than that.
