Far too true for meese not to be scary.

Someone clearly didn't get the memo: "The plural form of “moose” is “moose” because there is only one moose. #facts"
Besides, in the eventuality that Moose replicates, everyone knows the correct plural is Älgar!
On a side-note: The word "Moose" confuses me. Not the part about it's real plural being "Moose", that's already the case with Sheep etc., but that it's a borrowed word from Algonquian natives of America. What, no one English ever visited Scandinavia and saw one prior to that?
Edit: Ah, you do use the same word as us in the UK. Elk (Älg). It's just you Americans being weird again.

Ran it through Streets & Trips. It's about 2:45, shooting up I-91. I could do that to get to something in Milwaukee, if I really had to, and it wasn't the crappy weather we've been having in Wisconsin as of late.

One of these days, Paul, you REALLY need to come to the US and drive the Route 66 heritage corridor.
And THEN you can talk about "ten hour drives".
;)
(P.S. - There is NO WAY you can drive from Chicago to LA in 10 hours without breaking a few speeding laws.)

Heh, you're right, I didn't see that at all. I admit that I'm never able to go through an entire conversation with someone about those things without throwing the meese thing out there. I then wait for them to roll their eyes and then ask them to explain "geese" if they're so confident.

The last Meese that really scared me was named Edwin.
