longest English sentence using the same word

Today I found out that “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” is a completely valid English sentence!

It is an antanaclasic, which means it uses the same word but for its different definitions.

“Buffalo” can mean the place with that name, the animal, the plural of the animal, an expert on a particular topic and the verb meaning ‘to bully’.

So the sentence above means (in order) that “Buffalo buffalo” [the animals from a place called Buffalo] “Buffalo buffalo buffalo” [(whom) others of the same animal bully] “buffalo Buffalo buffalo” [(then) bully others of the same animal from the same place].

Compare the sentence to “Local animals local animals bully bully local animals.”

Try reading it again and see if it makes sense. It’s quite a silly sentence, but it makes sense and it’s perfectly valid.

I'm addicted to words , the only way to get my fix is to write and read. Like one of the famous writer said I forgot his name "Nothing prevents boredom like a good book." I read to know that I am not alone actually I prefer the company of books over people. In books, I've read feel like experiences I once had, and the characters in them like friends I've lost. Some of my favorite people come from books. 

I also have problems when reading. Is hang-over I can't recover. I am incompetence to start a new book because I'm still living and stuck in the last book's world and still when I wake up in the morning after the night before I finish reading, the first thing I think is the BOOK and I have all those feeling. I only love the feeling that I feel like I'm in a different world, feel like my whole world around me does not exist anymore.
