Collective nouns and ANC

(As sent to me by my friend David Blood)
 
The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with a herd of cows, a flock of chickens, a school of fish, a gaggle of geese and a pride of lions.

Then we get a murder of crows (as well as thteir cousins the rooks and ravens), an exaltation 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!

That pretty much explains the things that come out of the African National Congress.
