Wikipedia: Natural logarithm
The natural logarithm of a number is its logarithm to the base of the mathematical constant e, where e is an irrational and transcendental approximately equal to 2.718281828459. The natural logarithm of x is generally written as ln x, loge x, or sometimes, if the base e is implicit, simply log x. Parentheses are sometimes added for clarity, giving ln(x), loge(x) or log(x). This is done in particular when the argument to the logarithm is not a single symbol, to prevent ambiguity.
   
Wikipedia: Mathematical joke (6 October 2006 page revision)
A mathematical joke is a form of professional humor which relies on aspects of mathematics or a stereotype of mathematicians to derive humor. The humor may come from a pun or double meaning of a mathematical term, or on a non-mathematician’s misunderstanding of a mathematical concept. Such jokes are frequently inaccessible to those without a mathematical bent.
