can someone help me?
Help me understand a mathematical/programming joke

The only thing i remember about e & pi is that e is that it is how you calculate interest compounded continuiously. It is more or less then end of significant change.
e & pi are both non-repeating, non terminating decimals, so e ^ pi is just too painful a concept for me to even consider!
