What does all that have to do with the price of nantucket bucket?
When in doubt with alchemy
Just recall the Rule of Three
Thrice the same ingredient
Forms an extract excellent
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.
These are the best poems I've ever read.
3 × sqrt(4), or 6 like we call it the hood.
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.

Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash,
Caret quote back-tick dollar dollar dash,
Bang splat equal at dollar under-score,
Percent splat waka waka tilde number four,
Ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash,
Vertical-bar curly-bracket comma comma CRASH!
"waka" didn't gain popularity among people, at least not among any I ever heard about, usually it's angle bracket. I'm quite partial to 'tic' and 'tac'. The rest is standard or at least common, IMO | is pipe and {} braces. * is often called asterisk or star but splat is just better. And # is most definitely not "hashtag". Here's an overview of what's out in the wild.
{ left mustache
} right mustache
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.
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.
No u
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
"mispronounce" Z. Yeah no, anyone who calls it "Zed" are the ones mispronouncing it. Z rhymes with G, P, and V in the alphabet song. End of story.
Good story, now back to reality, please.
The reality is that American english pronunciation of "Zee" is globally more popular than british english "Zed". As a descriptivist for linguistics, I believe language IS how it's used, not how it ought to be used. So I was being over-the-top calling "Zed" a mispronunciation. But it's just as, if not more, wrong to call "Zee" the mispronunciation too.
A compelling argument no doubt.
But dragonball Zed sounds better than dragonball Zee, so youre still wrong
That's reasonable; I'll take it.
Zeds dead
Limerics are supposed to be filthy.
These are just limerish.
5 and 11 are also called a hand and a span
Oh dear. That's definitely going to summon something bad.
Yea, like my highschool pre-calculus teacher
!Just kidding he was a great teacher!<
As stated by cracked after hours
Math is the power to destroy nice things with logic
Man I loved that show
There once was a comic named Susan... #QI
Pretty sure this is what an aneurysm feels like.
Reminds me of the Math Song by Darkest of the Hillside Thickets.
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).
Instead of "Is the log" maybe you could say "Is nat-log"?
"is natty log of the cube root of e"
Or just pronounce it "lawn" like all my calculus instructors did
That one is weird to me, but maybe just because I've never heard it.
I hear it pronounced as "lawn" all the time and it pisses me off to no end. Be thankful that you don't hear it.
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
