If planck gets really heavy, as in much mass and volume, does it become Planckton?

Oops, I cubed the pi, instead of squaring it. Now I will servce my penance, and take a powder. A baking powder!!

Yeast is yeast and never the twain . . .

You can pump ‘er nickel, but that wry sense of humor, well, it lacks a certain rise. Does that render it matzoh?

And is that mannah from heaven?

If I keep going, this comment could number 666 words. But since bread is the metaphor, I will accept something closer to a square pi(e). Ar, ar, ar.

AFAIK the number 666 comes from the roman numeral DCLXVI, a guarded code abbreviation for
“Domitianus Caesar Legatos Xti Violenter Interfecit”, or “The Emperor Domitian violently killed the envoys of Christ”.
The variant 616 represents the alternative Hebrew spelling נרו קסר, Nrw Qsr (based on the Latin form “Nero Caesar”).
