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, Gaggle of geese.

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?

Funny, except its the other way around; parliament of owls and congress of baboons.

Funny, except its the other way around; parliament of owls and congress of baboons.

Fits nicely for the US government
