A Congress of baboons. That explains everything
« on: October 01, 2011, 11:56:58 AM »
A Congress of baboons. That explains everything.    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.

I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington.    http://gunsnplanes.blogspot.com/2011/09/congress-of-baboons-that-explains.html

Good one.  ;D
If we were all forced to wear a warning label, what would yours say?
