The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.
We are all familiar with a
Herd of cows, Flock of chickens, School of fish And a Gaggle of geese, and
 A Pride of lions.
However, less widely known is:
 A Murder of crows 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
YEP....A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS! Pretty much explains everything doesn't it?    .........
You just can't make this stuff up. | | |
