Pancake formula

Apparently there is some British holiday that has to do with pancakes. I am not really sure I care to know about this one, but it seems harmless enough. Some Brit, recently, came up with an interesting formula that should be used when flipping pancakes: 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 - that is how to get the pancake back in the pan after the flip.

Important, no?
