I have a challenge for the members of Insomnia. The winner of this challenge will receive 50,000 gold (not much, but it's all I have)

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

The previous sentence is grammatically correct. The first person to explain why will win the gold.

Im not a 100% confident in myself but im going to say: because you are interchanging the city Buffalo, New York with the animal buffalo?

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

Um, I've searched it on the net and this is how I've understand it....

the word buffalo in this sentence has 3 different meanings:
1. The city of Buffalo in New York
2. the animal, bison
3. the verb buffalo which means to "intimidate"

so thus... if you could substitute those meanings in the sentence it will be like this:

[Those] Buffalo bison [who are] intimidated [by another] Buffalo bison [also do] intimidate [other] Buffalo bison

... or something like that hehe....

CONGRATULATIONS!! I was hoping it would take a little longer, but that's what I get for challenging people over the internet. Damn. Well, it was a good way for me to get rid of gold.
