From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
house wizard n. [prob. from ad-agency tradetalk, `house freak'] A hacker occupying a technical-specialist, R&D, or systems position at a commercial shop. A really effective house wizard can have influence out of all proportion to his/her ostensible rank and still not have to wear a suit. Used esp. of Unix wizards. The term `house guru' is equivalent.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
hash character "#", {ASCII} character 35. Common names: number sign; pound; pound sign; hash; sharp; {crunch}; hex; {INTERCAL}: mesh. Rare: grid; crosshatch; octothorpe; flash; {ITU-T}: square, pig-pen; tictactoe; scratchmark; thud; thump; {splat}. The pronunciation of "#" as "pound" is common in the US but a bad idea; {Commonwealth Hackish} has its own, rather more apposite use of "pound sign" (confusingly, on British keyboards the pound graphic happens to replace "#"; thus Britishers sometimes call "#" on a US-ASCII keyboard "pound", compounding the American error). The US usage derives from an old-fashioned commercial practice of using a "#" suffix to tag pound weights on bills of lading. The character is usually pronounced "hash" outside the US. The name "octothorpe" was made up by a {Bell Labs} supervisor, Don Macpherson. {Octothorpe story (http://www.sigtel.com/tel_tech_octothorpe.html)}. (2003-07-05)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Hagiographa the holy writings, a term which came early into use in the Christian church to denote the third division of the Old Testament scriptures, called by the Jews Kethubim, i.e., "Writings." It consisted of five books, viz., Job, Proverbs, and Psalms, and the two books of Chronicles. The ancient Jews classified their sacred books as the Law, the Prophets, and the Kethubim, or Writings. (See {BIBLE}.) In the New Testament (Luke 24:44) we find three corresponding divisions, viz., the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms.
