…a mongoose(*) can make it better!

*things I found out while googling the “what is the plural of mongoose”:

1. consensus seems to be that mongoose pluralizes to mongooses, with mongeese a popular-though-generally-accepted-to-be-wrong runner up, followed by mongoose again (like moose)

2. Meriam-Webster helpfully suggests rhyming words, beginning with “Aarhus.” (Apparently this is an alternate spelling for Arhus, a city in Denmark.)

3. a group of mongooses can be called a troop, a pack, or whatever you feel like calling it; there seems to be no solid answer on this one
