Some Humor - The English Language

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.
We are all familiar with a

A Herd of Cows

A Flock of Chickens

A School of Fish

A Gaggle of geese, and

A Pride of Lions

However, less widely known is:

A Murder of Crows

An Exaltation of doves










And, presumably because they look so wise:

A Congress 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 Parliament

YEP....A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS! Pretty much explains everything doesn't it?

You just can’t make this stuff up.
