FYI

This came in my email today.  I found it informative and humorous.

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!
