15. There are the manholes you know
and the manholes you don't know. And if you don't know your manholes from a hole in the ground... um, er, or something like that. Where's Donny Rumsfeld when you need him. He could straighten it out.

13. A likely story
What really happened is Peter Pettigrew cast a spell to blow up the steam pipe and escaped into the sewers, framing Sirius Black for his murder!
