needapausebutton : Oct 25th, 2012 at 01:53 GMT 2 points *** CORRECT ANSWER SPOILER ALERT *** That that is, is. That that is not, is not. Is that it? It is.

Skold : Nov 2nd, 2012 at 15:01 GMT 2 points Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
needapausebutton : Nov 3rd, 2012 at 17:30 GMT 3 points ^ Nice! Had to look that one up myself, for anyone else reading the comment here's another "Spoiler Alert": This is not a punctuation issue, but rather I thought I'd present the "meaning" of that phrase: "Buffalo-origin bison that other Buffalo bison intimidate, themselves bully Buffalo bison."

James, while John had had "had", had had "had had"; "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.
kagomeshuko : Apr 1st, 2013 at 19:58 GMT 1 point Yeah . . . I saw so confused trying to figure out what was being said . . .
churchgeek : Apr 25th, 2013 at 02:17 GMT 1 point Similar to the buffalo one (which I'd never heard) is Fish. You can string along the word "fish" as many times as you like, and it makes a grammatically correct English sentence! Fish fish fish fish fish fish fish fish fish fish fish. Get it? ;)
