The abbreviaton "lbs" for Avoirdupois pound comes from the latin word and weight unit "libra". An Avoirdupois pound is about 454 grams while a "real" libra was about 333 grams. An old Swedish pound was almost exactly 425 grams. In France and Germany they still sell coffee and butter in "pounds" of 500 grams (½ kilogram).

When they discovered the opiate narcotine, it was mistaken to be morphine. Narcos was the god of sleep while Morpheus was the god of dreams. The opiate narcein was named after Narcissus, while it has no affect on its own, but increases the effect of morphine up to three times.
