Subject: Will increase your animal knowledge - Collective Nouns
We are all familiar with aHerd of cows,A Flock of chickens,A School of fish,And a Gaggle of geese.However, less widely known is:A Pride of lions,A Murder of crows(as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens),An Exaltation of dovesAnd, presumably because they look so wise:A Parliament of owls.Now consider a group of Baboons. Baboons are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?Believe it or not... A Congress !(Note: I hadn't heard that before, so I looked it up. It is correct.)A CONGRESS OF BABOONS !That pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington!You just can't make this stuff up.
