Another bit to chew on.

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals. We are all familiar with a     Herd of cows,    A Flock of chickens,    A School of fish   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. They 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! I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington!     You just can't make this stuff up.
