I new why LBs was used for pounds, but I learned something too. I
didn't know what the constilation Libra was supposed to look like.
I guess I remembered what I was told about the abbreviation for pounds
around the time I was learning Spanish, and since I couldn't help but
remember how to order a McDonald's quarter pounder with cheese, I
remembered that other trivia as well. LOL
That just shows how all kinds of barely related stuff gets connected up
and remembered by people's brains.
