In high school twenty years ago, my IT class teacher told me that technically speaking, a collection of computer mice of different styles (that is, not all the same brand/shape/color/etc.) are actually called mouses, not mice. I always thought he was joking, but apparently it is/was a considered correct at some point:
Just consider their Large Hamster Collider!
It’s a travesty, and last I head, they were colliding billions of hamster per second. You also got to ask what they do with the resulting elephants and whatnot coming out of those relativistic collisions.
“The scientists at the facility are believed to have worshipped or made sacrifices of their computer mice, due to their primitive minds’ beliefs that it would affect the outcome of their experiments.”
I think things like these have just become harder to find. There are some search engines which try to bring the "old" internet back to life like Marginalia Search.
