Here is one you should have heard before. What is the collective noun for Owls? And how many of you actually knew the answer and how many had to look it up?

Surely the collective for Owls can be a parliament? Owls are WISE birds.

I can't understand why I have only just found this thread, guess it shows how much it has grown since the launch. Amazingly, nobody has fired any abuse my way for non involvement......thus far! Anyway to start with from ME, what do you call a forum of POE members? Sensible answers only please, if you can think of one that is. I'll start with 'Nutters', a forum of Nutters! LOL
