Buffalo buffalo...
I found this very cool, so I thought more people should know about it:

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence!

The buffalo thing is pretty interesting, but check this out:

shi shi shi shi ... (followed by another 88 shis) is a classical and touching Chinese poem. :) Although Mandarin is a tonal language so it isn't as unusual as you might think.
