Honestly... This is the third or fourth time I've seen this post in the past few months. Shit, I'm not even on here very often anymore. What is this world becoming?

I've been here almost every single day since I joined 4 months ago and haven't seen this yet. This world is becoming one where there are a lot of things on the internet that occasionally overlap.

Took me a few seconds to understand. A Murder of Crows is the term for a group of crows.

If there are more than 500 crows, it is murder in the first.

probably because those are ravens, not crows. /melvin

Are they? I can't ever tell the difference.

[–]nova-hands 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Those are definitely ravens. I think the easiest way to differentiate between a crow and a raven is by looking at the bill. Ravens have a longer, more curved beak than crows.

That, combined with the OP's handle "HoustonTexan" made me think that this was about football.

[–]WillBlaze 9 points10 points ago*

Why does someone feel the need to post a link to another page when you just as easily explained it?

Ugh.

I dunno. I just viewed the link above me and realized that people might be lazy. :/

I wouldn't call it lazy, it just seems like a waste of time to load a website when all someone had to do is type a few words.

So what are you doing to resolve the problem of people pointing out problems without doing anything to resolve them?

Investigative journalism?

[–]bitpeak 0 points1 point ago

I'm pointing out their problem so they don't do it again. That's what I'm doing, smartass!

Marge: Homer, I'm not sure I'm comfortable sleeping with a group of crows in the bedroom in the night. Homer: It's a murder, honey. A group of crows is called a murder.

[–]taydin 8 points9 points ago

That episode is the only reason I know a group of crows is called a murder.

[–]ocrehoil 25 points26 points ago

those are ravens not crows. attempted 'congress'. (like me with my girlfriend last night)

[–]iamrory 7 points8 points ago

upvotes for ornithological accuracy

it's quite a recognizable spot for ravens as well, the yard at the tower of london.

[–]connerlewis 1 point2 points ago

not sure why, but i read the website title as "instant rimjob"...

I thought a group of ravens are an unkindness?

[–]ziby 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It can be either or, like a group of peacocks is called a muster or ostentation.

[–]liescontrolus 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The title is still relevant at least.

[–]nota_clever_man 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I thought this was a Ray Lewis joke until I realized that a group of crows is called a "murder". How fitting.

Correction: Those are Ravens and that ruins the joke. Nothing to see here.

[–]Zoshchenko 22 points23 points ago

A manslaughter of crows.

[–]anexanhume -2 points-1 points ago

For the 20th time. It was clever the first time we saw it, but there's been so many variations. That being said, I wish this one had been first and that had been the end of it.

[–]thebigfella 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This guy makes a valid point. This is at least the 4th variation of a murder of crows I've seen.

[–]Zoshchenko 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, first time I've seen it so it was new to me. I laughed. One of the few things I found funny today!

Well, first time I've hated a post today, so it was new to me. I raged. One of the few things I genuinely disliked today!

do 2 of them count as a murder? or do there have to be more?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It doesn't count, hence they're attempting it. That is the joke.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I felt so proud that I understood it. Then guilty that I assumed others wouldn't. Now I'm questioning if I have a superiority complex or if I'm being too hard on myself. Thanks a lot.

Those are most definitely Ravens; it is therefore an attempted "unkindness" or "conspiracy," according to Wikipedia.
