(Sorry for the double post... if it is a double post that is ...)
Here's another one... :lol:
The Animals
The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for various groups of animals.
We are all familiar with a Heard of Cows, a Flock of Chickens, a School of Fish and a Gaggle of Geese.
However, the less widely know 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 Parliment of Owls.
Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primate. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of Baboons?
Wait for it .................
Believe it or not..... a Congress.
Hmm... do we have a "Joke" thread here???
