WHAT'S IN A NAME?

 

We are All Familiar with:

 

 

 

A Heard of Cows

 A Flock of Chickens

A School of Fish

A Gaggle of Geese



However, less likely known are:

 A Pride of Lions

 A Murder of Crows

 (as well as their cousins, the Rooks and Ravens)

 The 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!

(Note: I hadn't heard that before, so I looked it up. It is correct)

A CONGRESS OF BABOONS!

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

You just can't make this stuff up.
