    This thread was about logs, as I recall. Now the stam log is actually the natural log. It is the only one with the magic properties that the exponential has, which is that no matter how many times you differentiate it, it remains the same function.

    Some books will write it as log, although others use ln. Matlab will use log10 for the base 10 log function. In complex variables, I think they use log or Log depending on whether it is the single valued or multi-valued function.

    Anyway, regarding the magic property of the exponential, the Thomas text on Calculus has this mashal to try to explain it:

    A student once came to the guru and asked, what holds up the world. The guru thought for a long time and said, an elephant. The student then asked, well, what holds up the elephant? The guru thought about it, and replied, another elephant. The student then asked, well, what holds up that elephant? The guru thought again and responded, it’s elephants all the way down.

    Sorry Blinky, I didn’t realize that there were rules about the length of the lines. Let me try one again:

    oomis1105 is thrilled to go on the date,

    The Shadchan promised that the guy is great,

    But the guy’s a math wizard,

    Who’s proud of his lizard,

    oomis1105 begins to plan her great escape.

    My dear Dr. Pepper, please note

    There’s a slight error in what you wrote.

    Though I often sound harried,

    I’m very much married.

    So dating would sure rock my boat!

    oomis1105- I was just trying to rhyme

    by recalling a post not seen in a long ===>time<===,

    I thought it would fly

    So I gave it a try

    There once was a man from Nantucket

    who tripped and fell on bucket

    He fell on his face

    ‘Twas quite a disgrace

    ‘Cause on his head-forever- G-d stuck it!

    Hey, Doc, purses are greatly needed

    This point, by now, should be conceded.

    Like scout troops are taught

    “Be prepared,”‘s a good thought,

    So that thread really should be deleted!

    The CR’s a stage for many a battle

    At the drop of a hat the sabers may rattle

    But I have a svora

    A friend of mine ordered me to post this gem, ascribed to the Fallsberg Oylum:

    Do you know the teitch of a shnook?

    They each have their eigena kook.

    They make up a shita,

    Call themselves Shlita,

    And make sure their name’s on a book.

    The fax machine next to us always jammed

    and made noises we couldn’t stand

    we ripped off the thing

    The Shadchan is getting dizzy

    Talking to a Mom whose in a tizzy

    Her questions of height, and size

    And the girls color eyes

    And is still wondering why her son is never “busy”!

    #1221143

    if cigarettes you like to toke

    question health scares as just a joke

    well, heres the answer

    they sure cause cancer

    don’t let your life go up in smoke


    When you race for a subway seat

    a dirty trick that can’t be beat

    is sneeze and cough

    to scare ’em off

    and garlic breath’s an added treat

    I made these up many years ago when I was in school.

    Let us wonder for arguements sake

    why ___ _____(fill in name of school) had so many rules to make

    for if there were none

    It would be no fun

    for there would be no rules to break!

    Mommy had 12 children too many

    quite often she whished she had not any

    when they jumped on her “Kup”

    she just got fed up

    and sold each one for a penny!

    A flea and a fly in a flue;

    Were stuck so what could they do;

    Said the flea;”let us fly”,

    Said the fly; “let us flee”,

    So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

    blinky,

    There once was a man from Nantucket

    Who kept all his cash in a bucket.

    But his daughter, named Nan,

    Ran away with a man

    And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

    But he followed the pair to Pawtucket,

    The man and the girl with the bucket;

    And he said to the man,

    He was welcome to Nan,

    But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.

    Then the pair followed Pa to Manhasset,

    Where he still held the cash as an asset,

    But Nan and the man

    Stole the money and ran,

    And as for the bucket, Manhasset.

    Of this story we hear from Nantucket,

    About the mysterious loss of a bucket,

    We are sorry for Nan,

    The cash and the bucket, Pawtucket.

    Get it?

    Its a favourite project of mine

    A new value of ‘pi’ to assign

    I would fix it at 3

    For its simpler you see

    Than at 3.14159

    An exceedingly large friend of mine

    When asked at what hour he’d dine

    He replied at 11

    And at 3, 5 and 7

    Then at 8 and again after 9

    A school boy who lived in Japan

    His limericks never would scan

    When they asked him “but why?”

    He would say with a sigh

    “Its because I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can.”

    Most posts here are not plagiarized

    No raunchy ones now bowdlerized

    We wrote them fresh

    Made the rhymes mesh

    This morning while sitting at the beauty salon (with color on my hair – so it was a long sit) I was very bored, so I took out a pen and……

    I know you may think me a bore

    For I’ve spoken of this once before

    On All Hallow’s Eve

    Just get up and leave

    And you won’t have to answer the door.

    Three brothers named X, Y and Z

    Wed sisters called A, B and C

    When their families grew

    They knew just what to do

    And called their kids 1, 2 and 3.

    Part 1

    I’ve always got a sore back

    I kvetch when I carry a pack

    The doctor said “Rest”

    I said “Surely you jest”

    For a personal servant I lack.

    Part 2

    He said I have warned you before

    That your back will always be sore

    For shlepping’s a no-no

    And bending’s just so-so

    And you’ll hurt till you do this no more.

    Question for the Mods:

    I can’t stop composing these silly limericks. Do I qualify for a name change? Instead of a “member” I would love to be known as a

    “limericist”. (I don’t even think such a word exists but if one can be a lyricist, then why not?)
