UK Science Finds the Perfect Pancake Flip
Random article concerning the ability to flip a pancake perfectly, a very popular menu item for Shrove Tuesday in the UK. Apparently people have a lot of trouble with it, ending up with batter on the walls, floor, or ceiling. Scientists at Leeds University have found the formula for perfect flipping to be:
The angular velocity of the pancake equals the square root of Pi times the gravity, divided by the distance the pancake is from the elbow times four.
Silly Brits. Just use a spatula or pancake flipper.

Posted by: whois on August 22, 2003 07:41 PMBrits have found it all. You don't use one of those silly pancake flippers, nor do you use pancake mixes, or a microwave or anything like that to cook pancakes.
Gotta do it the right way, flip it 180°, then 360° to air it up, and 180° to warm it back a little. It's all in the wrist, dude
