I heard once that mice is only plural for the rodents.
Haven't checked the dictionary yet though.

Both are correct

"The online Oxford Dictionaries entry for mouse states the plural for the small rodent is mice, while the plural for the small computer connected device is either mice or mouses."

Yeah, but do you REALLY trust dictionaries?

I like the Hooters pretty well. Other than that, mostly singles from a zillion bands like Boy Meets Girl, The Kinks, Ultravox, Adam Ant, The Jesus and Mary Chain, etc.

I was listening to the Hooters the other day, first time in years, and realised just how religious their songs are.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're Jewish. "All You Zombies" seems to have a lot of Biblical lyrics.
