Octothorpe ... I used that word on the stand at a courts martial once when describing someones password which was the British Pound symbol. The lawyer showed me the octothorpe and said this pound sign. I replied, if it were the octothorpe, I would have said octothorpe and not the British Pound.

Another sad story.

A young mother-of-two has died after falling into a vat of melted chocolate at a factory near Moscow, according to the Russian press.

Svetlana Roslina worked at the Sergiev-Posad confectionery factory in Fedortsovo, which is around 100km away from Moscow. Reports say she had dropped her mobile phone into a vat of sweet mix and was trying to retrieve it, but fell in and was unable to escape.
