Wayne, Paul was trotting out an old joke: The mathematical formula for the
area of a circle is pi (3.1416 and a bunch more decimal places) times the
square of the circle's radius. This is often spoken as "pi R squared." The
joke was that no, pie are ROUND. CORNBREAD are square.
And I've seen lots of cornbread baked in rectangles; I think the majority of
institutions cook it that way.
