Pi r square?

Nope. Pie are round, cornbread are square.

No. Four. As in "I'll have a 4 piece order please". BTWL.

Back to the OP, I've never heard a shovel call "he", although the Mistress christened my CE the Red Baron some years ago.

Fish are generally referred to as a "he." ("He's a big sucker") But "Thar She blows" for a whale?
Why is Nature feminine and time masculine anyway??
If they procreated, what would the result be?

Never heard a water borne vessel called a "he" either.

In English, "she"-- in French "he" or "that", in German "that" or "it"


Go figure.

Chickens?
The bravest of the three? According to J.C, the strongest were the Belgae.*
"Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae."

The Internet Classics Archive | The Gallic Wars by Julius Caesar

*Truthfully, the only one I could recall without looking was Aquitania.
But, heck, it's been almost 60 years.

I read the Gallic Wars in English translation. Mr. Caesar was a ruthless campaigner who was very careful in the use of his men and a brilliant logistical planner. His absolute destruction of strong opponents and often all retainers and all families and then giving civil authority to weak neighbors who would be dependent on Roman power and prestige resulted in weak vassals unable to inspire rebellion in subordinates or raise an army capable of challenging Caesar's legionnaires. I can see after a few years of fighting against Caesar, who essentially drafted vassal armies for frontal assaults before bringing in the legions, opponents would be soon drained of fighters and logistical support. Because Caesar oftener burned the crops of opponents and raided storehouses opposing armies starved and worried about families back home.

This is how you win, if you have the stomach for it.

Interesting translations here: (he-she-it)
