A friend of mine showed me this and I thought it was just a really interesting display of homonyms in the English language.
This is a grammatically valid sentence:
"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." The sentence reads as description of the social hierarchy of buffalos living in Buffalo. There are three different meanings of the word bufallo at work here: Buffalo- a city in New York, buffalo which means to bully or intimidate, and buffalo the animal. Thus, the a different way of saying this is: Bison, from Buffalo, New York who are intimidated by other bison in Buffalo also happen to intimidate other bison from Buffalo.
