The summary you're after, from the internet somewhere....

"Goose is from the Germanic root, and its plural was adopted into Old English as "geese". This is an abnormal plural.
Moose is of Algonquin (Amerindian) origin and has a plural of "moose".

The word "moose" came to us from Algonquian Indians. Consequently its plural, instead of being "mooses" or "meese", is the same as the singular "moose." That is true of most Indian names whether of a tribe, such as the Winnebago and Potawatomi, or of an object such as papoose. It is also true of many wildlife names not of Indian origin -- for example: deer, mink and grouse.

The biggest mystery that I have ever encountered has been solved. What do I live for now? Someone give me meaning."

You're welcome.
