I didn’t get it either Thy…had to look it up. 😛 lol A group of Crows is called a “murder”, but since there’s only two crows…it’s “attempted murder”… *ba dum tss*
Ok, thanks for the explanation, but it still does not make sense. Oh well. Ok, did some searching, and now it is at least somewhat explained why it is called a murder of crows: http://www.word-detective.com/2009/02/murder-of-crows-etc/
Had to look it up, too. That one’s for native English speakers, I guess. But on second thought – Is that a “crowbar” they’re sitting on?
I saw this and I wondered what the smallest possible size of a murder of crows is? Two would be plural, so wouldn’t that be a murder?
That was very witty, Richard! Had to look up what a group of Ravens is called. (An unkindness or conspiracy.)
LOL…excellent!
i dont get it. This makes no sense to me.

Sorry to disappoint, but those are ravens. That is why it didn’t make sense.[img]

I wondered how many people would get this one.
Ha! That’s a good one! 🙂
Finally!
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
It’s nice to know that most B&Pers either know a lot of stuff or are willing and able to look it up.
I got it right away, one of the few animal groups I do know what it’s called! Funny!
I got it immediately too, but I still looked for the cat.
