I found this educational, I hope you agree.. 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 dovesAnd, presumably because they look so wise:

A Parliament of owls.

Now consider a group of Baboons.
Baboons 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 Congress!(Note: I hadn't heard that before, so I looked it up. It is correct)

A CONGRESS OF BABOONS!
That pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington !You just can't make this stuff up.
