French mice
chocolatepossum: while "je souris" means "I smile", it doesn't mean "I mouse" since there is no verb "to mouse" in French. Also, "a smile" is not "une souris", it's "un sourire".

Double basses and platypuses
Double bass strings are tuned in 4ths because, what with the instrument being so bloody big, the distance between notes a 4th apart is too far to stretch.

Also, platypuses (that's the correct plural) don't have similar reproductive organs to humans, they're a particular subclass of mammals called monotremes (meaning "one hole") which is essentially what they have.
