    Thanks for this post from:

    Now we know!!!!!!

    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

    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!
    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.
