Do only humans have souls, or do animals possess them too?

Animals -email forwarded by Kamalini Kanapathippillai

We are all familiar 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 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!

Note: I hadn't heard that before, so I looked it up.

It is correct.

A CONGRESS OF BABOONS!

I guess that pretty much explains the things

that come out of Washington!

You just can’t make this up.
