English is awesome!

I just found out that the term for a group of shrews is a lament of shrews.

(Somebody in charge of the Oxford English Dictionary must really, really dislike crow and shrews.)

That is a fun fact. I wish I could use that in every day conversation but shrews don't really come up as a topic all that often.
I like this stuff, like a group of rhinos would be a "crash", and a group of unicorns is a "blessing"- I suppose it WOULD be a blessing if you somehow saw more than one unicorn.

I hadn't heard about the rhinos one before. Pretty neat!
