Last week, I saw an advert in a newspaper:

Why square pancakes, you ask? Well, apparently it’s quite simple: if you don’t cut off the corners, you get much more pancake for your money.
*headdesk*
Dear mr. Loaf, this, and nothing else, is why the world is going to hell in a handbasket. As everyone knows, pancakes are round. Square pancakes are a wicked abomination and a sign of the coming apocalypse.
