Conventional Wisdom (?)

Tyler's inquiry during a recent discussion of the goose migration:

"If the plural for goose is geese, is more than one mongoose mongeese or mongooses?"

The answer just might suprise you - that is, if you've ever wondered about the plural form of the cat-like creature known to "giggle" when it mates. (Maybe they're not so different from us humans? **giggle, giggle**)

One last interesting (or not) tidbit - when I googled "Mongoose" the first site that came up was http://www.mongoose.com/ - perfect! Not so much. It was a BMX biking site. Umm, ok, sure.
