15. And yet, I'm quite certain that the plural of anus is
'Republicans.'

3. Plural of "anus" is "the bush family"
Seriously, MMjr is correct, it's either anuses or ani.

10. For more than you ever wanted to know about plurals of Latin cognates
http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mplurals.html

And I don't know if anus comes from Latin or not, so it all depends.
