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

   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 (Larks too) 

   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 .......it is  a Congress!

  I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington!
