ANTHROPOMORPHIC NOUNS (from my email):

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. Baboons 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! That pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington....

You just can’t make this stuff up.
