Re: Grab Bag - Bag 10 - July 26, 2024
I was just commenting on another blog a couple weeks ago how insane the whole idea of naming animal collectives is. Who comes up with these stupid names, and what purpose do they have other than to be the answers to really dumb and extremely obscure trivia questions? Nobody uses any of these in casual conversation...
