Way too long ago, someone left a phone message in the newsroom asking about the origins of terms for assemblages of animals. It was a great suggestion, and, as with many types of creatures, it took some time to track down.
I can only touch on this topic in this space. But if you want more, I highly recommend the book ''An Exaltation of Larks'' by James Lipton, which is the source for what you'll find here. That's the same James Lipton, by the way, who conducts the ''Inside the Actors Studio'' interviews shown on the Bravo channel.
Perhaps the greatest book since the invention of things bookish. Glorious!
