A Clew of Woo-Woo Collective Nouns

[H3LL]

Randi "invented" some collective nouns for woo-woo in this weeks commentary (http://www.randi.org/jr/2007-04/041307mag.html#i7).

It seemed appropriate to collect some more ourselves.

Randi's starters:

A giggle of psychics
A fleece of conmen
A failure prophets
(A congress of conmen)
A absence of homeopaths
A confusion of parapsychologists
A cackle of witches
A handful of Palmists
A struggle of astrologers
More than three phrenologists become a bump
A desperation spoonbenders
