Geeses and meeses

An AIM conversation from last night:

Lisa (8:20:07 PM): hey. are a group of moose meese?
Benjamin (8:20:36 PM): no, they're moose
Benjamin (8:20:47 PM): "a herd of moose"
Lisa (8:20:58 PM): well
Lisa (8:21:01 PM): goose
Lisa (8:21:01 PM): is geese
Benjamin (8:21:08 PM): yes
Benjamin (8:21:22 PM): but goose is a germanic word and moose is an american indian word
Lisa (8:21:31 PM): ah okay

Now while most people (you'd think) know that moose is the plural of moose, I gave my "goose is a germanic word and moose is an american indian word" answer sort-of as an off the cuff sarcastic remark. I didn't really think it was right, I was sort of being a smart ass. Scarily, I was pretty much spot on:

Moose Etymology:
From North-Eastern Algonquian language, perhaps Eastern Abenaki or Narragansett, mos (or something similar; Proto-Algonquian *mōswa), possibly meaning "he strips off [bark]."

Goose Etymology
From the Old English gōs.

Thanks, wiktionary, for proving that I have way too much worthless information buried in my head. I am such a dork.
