Intelligent Conversation

We're solving very important questions on call today.  Have you ever wondered what the plural of a computer mouse is?  Is it mice?  Mouses? Or mouse devices?  Apparently all are acceptable to use because there's no consensus.  But, did you know that a computer mouse is actually a computer M.O.U.S.E.? An acronym for Manually Operated User Select Equipment.  But wait, that's not right either, because the creator, Douglas Englebart, really named it a mouse, not a m.o.u.s.e., because he thought it looked like a cute mouse with a really long tail, the acronym was coined later.  Now wasn't all of this enlightening?  Between this deep discussion and the picture of the fat man in the thong (from behind) which appeared on my desktop screen, we're getting some valuable work done...
