Mnemonic

You see a triceratops in the distance. But, it's odd. It's perfectly pi shaped (that is, circular, like a pie). Some kind of piceratops, if you will. The reason they are this shape is because they want to absorb as much light as possible. They evolved to be round so they don't have any corners casting a shadow.
