Hi Guys,
> The English Language has some wonderful ANTHROMORPHIC Nouns for various groups of animals, here are a few of them...
> But the last one is TRUE to the letter of the word!!!
1. COWS - A Heard of Cows
2. Chicken - A Flock of Chickens
3. Fish - A School of Fish
4. Geese - A Gaggle of Geese
5. Lions - A Pride of Lions
6. Crows - A Murder of Crows (You wouldn't believe it!)
7. Doves - An Exhaltation of Doves
8. Owls - A Congress of Owls!!!!
9. However a Group of Baboons that are the LOUDEST, MOST DANGEROUS, OBNOXIOUS, VICIOUS, AGGRESSIVE and the LEAST INTELLIGENT OF ALL PRIMATES are called "A PARLIAMENT"
> Now you know why our Gun Laws are What They Are
Cheers
