Also, who makes the official call on what a group of animals is called? - R2Bacca, on 11/14/2007, -0/+4It depends... is it half bear-pig, half man or are we talking about a half man-bear, half pig?
- sagat, on 11/13/2007, -4/+8I was once involved in a very vulgar arguement trying to decide on that the best grouping would be for *****. It started with: "A Pack of *****", then somebody suggested "A Flock of *****", followed by "A Swarm of *****", "A Murder of *****", "A Litter of *****" and by far my favorite: A Cloud of *****".

- zantos420, on 11/13/2007, -0/+0this is funny someone made a post about this i was just going on about how they have such weird names for packs of animals... which led me to my question: is it just a herd of moose or do moose have a special name lol
