duh
I was walking to my bus after work yesterday and saw a cd lying on the sidewalk, next to the grass. I walked a few more steps and saw another cd on the sidewalk. It said "56478" on it. I thought "Maybe someone is trying to get people to listen to their band so they're just putting cds strategically on the sidewalk" and I walked a few more steps and saw another cd that said "56479" and a few steps later another one that said "56480." I thought "they're going up in numbers. They're really trying to work some kind of gimmick here. I bet it's hiphop" (because I was kinda near the ghetto. Just being honest). I saw a dozen more and then I realized that they were metal discs drilled into the sidewalk and were some kind of city electrical or plumbing markers.

ah man, I wish they were CDs. Could have been some good material.
haha
sounds like something i would do.
I think those might have something to do with pest control. My brother has them in his driveway and I tried to pick them up and give them to him and he said, "Oh, those are to repel the termites."
In Blackburn (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia...etc) similar but very small metal discs with numbers have been installed by the local council in each public car park allotment. They use satellite/GPS technology to monitor and if you overstay your time, around comes the lovely parking inspector.... A true story. Who would have thunk it?
