An Oxford professor named Hall
Possessed an octagonal ball
The square of its weight
Divided by eight
Was pi times the root of sod all
I suppose saying “natural log” invalidates the last limerick - I’ll allow it.
It's common to just use "log" in pure math, since nobody uses the base 10 log.
And everyone just uses "log" in CS because noone cares about the base.
...if you specifically want the natural one it's ln. ld for binary, base 10 is pretty much unheard of. Such an uneven number.
Fair. Logs are natural unless otherwise specified. You wouldn't put log(37) if you wanted base 10, you'd do log_10(37).

Why does "kicking it up a notch" have to entail completely butchering the meter? Actually infuriating.
See top comment to kick your fury up a notch.
Pretty sure this is what an aneurysm feels like.
Not a fan of the second one. The first line doesn't have enough syllables and the whole rhyme scheme requires that you mispronounce Z.
Zee was zee long before posh English twats decided to say zed.
Source: my ass
Zed technically came first. Greek Zeta -> French Zede -> English Zed.
But I'll do anything to get away from French influence on my language
While I am part of the 'zed' group, there is no "correct" pronounciation for anything because it all depends on accent and culture. Just embrace the diversity.
I respectfully submit that the US should send tutors to teach English to our wayward Anglophone brothers.

Oh dear. That's definitely going to summon something bad.
Yea, like my highschool pre-calculus teacher
!Just kidding he was a great teacher!<
4 + (6! - 0.5(12^2 + (403 + 1))) = 2(15^2)
Four plus the difference between
The factorial of six and the mean
Of twelve squared and four
Hundred three (plus one more)
Equals double the square of fifteen.

Math is the power to destroy nice things with logic
Man I loved that show
Limerics are supposed to be filthy.
These are just limerish.
5 and 11 are also called a hand and a span
These are the best poems I've ever read.
There once was a comic named Susan... #QI
3 × sqrt(4), or 6 like we call it the hood.
Reminds me of the Math Song by Darkest of the Hillside Thickets.
