"...Hargraves could find no evidence that congress is the correct term. "Apparently someone just made it up," he said. "It has the ring of truthiness and so people like it. They do behave like the caricature of the baboons, but I think real baboons probably behave a lot better."

5. "Calling it a congress casts unfair aspersions on baboons"

6. I always like the second Naked Gun movie:

Frank Drebin has crashed a tank into a zoo and a bunch of animals escaped.

Commissioner: He did what? How many animals escaped? Oh my god.
Drebin: Good evening Commissioner. You look lovely.
Commissioner: Do you realize that because of you this city is being overrun by baboons?
Drebin: Isn't that the fault of the voters? *rimshot*

7. Yes. I watch Steven Fry's show QI :)

Full eps available on youtube, btw

8. No, no, no

1 useless man is a disgrace
2 useless men are a law firm
3 or more are called a Congress

And I have had this Congress!

13. That's a factoid I'll put to good use...too funny.

14. Holy crap. A spot-on collective term. Also, for the GOP, a crash of elephants

applies quite well, too, don't you think?

15. Yes - they can't even form an orderly line
