Why is.....??????

[BlackEclipse]

....the abbreviation for pounds "lbs."???????

There is no fricken L or B in that word.

[MikeyboyTSi]

It's from the Latin derivative libra. Well, actually libra pondo which is where we got the word "pound". Ever wonder why the Zodiac symbol for Libra is the scales? ;)

Why is # called the pound sign when most of the time you see it used as:

We're #1!!!

(where # stands for number)
