COPY THE KNOWLEDGE, PASTE THE LAUGHTER

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with a
School of fish,
Herd of cows,
Flock of chickens,
Gaggle of geese, and
a Pride of lions.

However, less widely known is:
An Exaltation of doves,
 A Murder of crows,

And, presumably because they look so wise: A Congress 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 Parliament!

YEP.... A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!
Pretty much explains everything doesn't it?
