What do you think about pancakes?

By the way, pancake derives from placenta, which in Latin means 'cake'. This puts a new spin on the colloquialism "a bun in the oven".

They are inadequate models for the shape of the Earth.

We have them most Sundays. I hate them when they are improperly cooked (overdone on the outside and underdone on the inside). I prefer them spongey and on the thin side. They are lovely with medlar syrup.

I like the term "flapjacks" but I never call them such in real life.

"Hotcakes" only seems to come up in the context of salesmanship. How come no one ever talks about buying them? Besides, they never appear to be that popular except in the morning. That doesn't seem very profitable as a marketing model.

Does anyone call them "griddlecakes" anymore?

I never learned to make them well but like the ones J. makes. I'm spoiled on buckwheat pancakes and find white-flour pancakes to be a little wimpy, though if done right, they're quite good.

What is the point of figuring which words are prime numbers? And what the hell is base 36?
