Did you know, that due to an American city called Buffalo, the animal bison being misidentified as a buffalo & an American slang term 'to buffalo' meaning to bully, this is actually a grammatically correct sentence:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Or in a more easily understood version: Buffalo bison [whom] Buffalo bison bully [then] bully Buffalo bison.
