What shall we call it when a bunch of Pagodas are together?  You know, the collective noun.

Examples:
herd of buffalo
band of gorillas
pride of lions
fleet of trucks
line of cars
squadron of airplanes
armada of ships
chain of islands

What shall it be for Pagodas?  Be creative!  Here's your chance to have your place in history as the person who coined the term.   :D

I'd just use the built-in poll feature of the forums.  Actually, let's do this.  People can continue to post ideas/entries through the end of this month and on Aug 1 I will create a poll, let it run the month of August, and when it closes we'll have a winner!

Anytime I see someone referring to a collection of vehicles, the term "fleet" is being used. What's wrong with that?

Plethora, Pride and Parade all great choices. But..............my vote would be "Parade of Pagodas". Sounds more fitting.

My first thought was simply, Pagodi. If we go with something more fun and still meaningful, I like pride.
