| Q. What is this # symbol named? |
A. Octothorp.
Y'see, poor old Octo was a very clumsy child, always running into things, and the sound his head made whenever it made resounding contact with an immovable object (like a wall) was "THORP!" It also left an impression on his forehead that closely resembled the # sign. So, whenever he was asked what happened, he would just say "Octo Thorp!" Hence the name octothorp.
