I like corps of pathologists! For "body" I must give credit to the television show Inspector Morse.

But TEd, a "body" of pathologists works as an aural pun, "corps" only works when read, not so well when heard.At least, IMO

a bake of clams
a scream of lobsters*
a flex of mussels....or not!
and for the Aussies in the crowd:
a plash of platypus
a bounce of kangaroos
a clamp of crocodiles (is it true one et a German tourist recently? a friend of mine in Darwin sez so....geez, you'd think that would make the news Up Over as well)
(*don't they scream when boiled? I've never witnessed it, I'm a coward about killing my own food)

I have heard crayfish (our lobsters) screaming when on a barbecue - a truly hideous sound, but insufficiently so to stop me eating them.
