That's interesting, I've never actually heard of "buffalo" as a verb before.

I found that sentence in "The Language Instinct" by Stephen Pinker (linguist). The sentence means that buffalo from the city of Buffalo who are bullied by buffalo from the city of Buffalo bully themselves buffalo from the city of Buffalo. It's a seriously twisted sentence...

Pinker also talks about parallels between the sentences "Time flies like an arrow." and "Fruit flies like a banana."

Do you know what the number one reason to be a Serb is?
You get a wide variety of war criminals to choose from in elections!

Another great reason for being a Serb......
Its the only European country that NATO will bomb

And the great thing about being Croat!
You're not a Serb

I am sorry if this sounds not nice by chance, but is it supposed to be a joke, Danny? I can not understand it, somehow... I admit though that i still have much to learn, but my commonsense fails me here.
