Congress of Baboons

A Congress of Baboons
The Real Congress of Baboons
The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for groups of animals!

There is a Pride of lions;

a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens);

a School of fish; an Exaltation of larks and a Parliament of owls.

Now consider the baboon: loudest, most dangerous and viciously aggressive of all primates.

It is ironic and so appropriate that the proper collective noun for a group of baboons is: a Congress.

    There's also the term "sexual congress" for what they're doing to the country.

    Or should it be put "The Baboons of Congress"?

If you are one of those who doesn't like this site, why do you keep returning? Move to a Muslim country where self-flagellation is the norm.
