Murdering Language

      Yeah, we all know that a group of crows is a murder and that a group of whales is a pod, but I've always had a hard time keeping track of the appropriate collective terms for certain animals. Well, here's a handy link to help you keep some of this stuff straight. Now, if only they provided explanations for why each of terms came into being... Nah, that'd be too much research, and I for one am too damned lazy to do it. Looking at this list reminds me of the genius of the phrase "Cry havoc / and let loose the dogs of war."
