    O/T The Random Facts Thread

    Today i have just learned what the collective noun for Tigers is........

    An Ambush

    Very hard sounding, nae that tigers need to sound any harder

    These collective nouns come up every so often so i will store this in the part of my brain where i store these

    A destruction of wildcats (very hard sounding)
    A congress of Salamanders
    A murder of bats
    An unkindness of ravens
    A scourge of mosquitos (very apt)
    A caravan of camels (too TSMSTIDish for my liking)

    Despite the 1972 Top Twenty hit with The Dinosaurs, (linky) "Terry Dactyl" is not the most common spelling of the fleein dinosaur-era birdie thingmer.

    It is more commonly spelled/spelt 'pterodactyl', with the 'P' silent, as in swimming pool. - view external link

    Baku is 27m below sea level making it the lowest lying capital city in the world. I imagine that is why it is always so windy here. Also Baku literally translates as "City of Wind"
