    Interesting - How did you find it?

    Well, the process of finding was not as enigmatic as my statement may have indicated. While at the office, I surf stumbleupon.com, and this was yet another random website to which I was led.

    I've gone over it a few times and still don't understand how it is grammatically correct. I understand how it CAN BE grammatically correct, but the explanation given in the Wikipedia article is very lacking... the second set of "Buffalo buffalo" doesn't seem to fit at all.

    Plus, the picture displayed on the screen is that of a bison, not a buffalo... sheesh, Wikipedia for ya.

    I've got one!

    I hate hate, hate hate hate, hate hate hate hate, hate hate hate hate hate, hate hate hate hate hate hate... (this can literally go on forever, as long as it ends with...) AND hate hate hate hate hate hate hate.
