WB:  Are we mice or ... mouses?  My money is on a gender bias.  Any
takers?  Hypothesis: Women go for the morphologically conservative form
<mice> (just like my dear Mama-r), while men (smoking cigars & swilling
whiskey) say <mouses>, especially lumberjacks, banding together in unison
in redwood forests far from civilization.
