Some serious stuff for a change!!!!!!!!!!!
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 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 gathering 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?

a Congress!
I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of our present government led by a party by that name, which has ruled our country for most of the 64 years since the British left us in their hands!
