TOO GOOD TO NOT SHARE.......Anthropomorphic Nouns

 Please pay attention to the very last picture.
       ~Anthropomorphic Nouns~
This is quite interesting.

We are all familiar with 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.
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!
(Note: I hadn't heard that before, so I looked it up. It is correct)


A CONGRESS OF BABOONS!

I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington !
You just canˇt make this stuff up.
