A few people at my job were having an argument about the word mouse. Is the plural of mouse, mice or mouses. We were split evenly. I noticed that you used mouses. How do you know that mouses is the correct word?

I'm guessing that mouse is meant to resemble a womens delicates?
@lewispratt, I thought the same thing. Gregory always has been my favorite AT poster. ;)
Who the hell says or writes mouses? I've never heard that. So I checked both Amazon.com and Newegg.com and both have categories for mice, not mouses!!!
Oh, lovely!
The Oxford English Dictionary recognizes both as correct.
MOOSEN!
meeces...to pieces!
I wonder if the person who designed that mouse actually took a step back and realized what he was doing!
So funny!
"oh, the little guy in the boat? that's my scroll wheel...."
It's called the G Point. I don't think he ever mistook it for anything other than what it looks like.
Yes, it's quite obviously meant to look that way on purpose. Pretty hilarious, but definitely NSFW!
Yeah, guys, the mouse is intended to resemble a woman's nether regions. It was introduced a year or two ago and was covered widely by such sites as boingboing.net at the time (and gizmodo, and wired).

Mouses. Mice means the animals.
