3. This is really just a way for me to out the *nix nerds

After all...

Hash bang slash bin slash bash

Or, if you're particularly masochistic

Hash bang slash bin slash csh

Or, if you're just flat out nuts

Hash bang slash dev slash random

5. I was helping my friend out with using my cell phone the other day

To change the style of text you're entering (CAPS lowercase or numbers), you hold down the "#" key. Needless to say, he was pretty bewildered when I told him to "hold down hash."

8. Octothorp!

I kid you not.

Some genius at Ma Bell came up with that term in the early 1960s, IIRC.

Actually, some of us pompously erudite geeks prefer the term.

--p!

That sounds like it should be my DU username.
