I must've explained the mustelid thing about 100X when I had ferrets. Everybody thinks they're rodents for some reason. I read a book recently (a mediocre urban fantasy) where there was a semi-important plot point that revolved around ferrets supposedly being rodents. Great editing, huh?
The other thing people think is that they're in the same class as skunks...
