a herd 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 doves,
and, 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!
A CONGRESS OF BABOONS!
That pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington!
You just can’t make this stuff up.
Love it, Cat, you always know how to crack us up!
