One less itch to stratch

After seeing this article about Phonogram from Image Comics, I can finally make that stupid comment of "that's where they got that idea for that cover" because the second and the last issue covers were actually bugging me on where they came from.

a question dumber than the first one...

The plural form of goose is geese, yet the plural form of mongoose is mongooses and the plural form of moose is moose. Why isn't it mongeese and meese?

I know this is a odd question, but...

Who decided to name the species?

A deer is a mammal and a goose is a bird but, a killdeer is a bird and a mongoose is a mammal.
