JujuFish Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Here's an off topic thought for you. This grammatically correct sentence was brought up in my linguistics class. It's a bit confusing to understand at first, but once it clicks, it's hilarious trying to explain it to other people. Hopefully this makes it more understandable: Buffalo buffalo, [that] Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo. Or, exchanging bison for buffalo and intimidate for the verb buffalo: Buffalo bison, [that] Buffalo bison intimidate, intimidate Buffalo bison. Yeah, I guess we all get a bit strange when we have no Sabres game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of a mock name for the Phoenix Peyotes, er, Coyotes. (Wait a minute! Did I just give myself away?) Well, what can I say? They've only won one game so far this season. I have to wonder if the peyote had anything to do with it. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
