Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
from Wikipedia:
“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo,” is a grammatically correct sentence used as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated constructs.
It means:
Bison from upstate New York who are intimidated by other bison in their community also happen to intimidate other bison in their community.
[via Digg]
I can’t make this be gramatically correct unless you add ‘whom’
or ‘that’ and some punctuation, viz:
Buffalo buffalo, that Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
