Yeah, I always hated that one because it only works because of the (incorrect) omission of punctuation. The Buffalo buffalo one doesn't need anything except the period at the end to be correct.

"Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo" is a tautology but still a sentence

It gets worse:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

Rochester bison that Rochester bison bully bully Rochester bison

Capitalization is key for this one
