Words Of Wisdom - ANTHROPOMORPHIC COLLECTIVE NOUNS

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals that we are familiar with.... Such as:

AHerd 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 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 OF BABOONS!
I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out from Parliament at Ottawa !
