The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.
We are all familar 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 Exhaltation of doves and presumably because they look so wise, a Parliament 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 Congress !
I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington !
