That's a good one. I can't parse your Buffalo sentence. Oh, that's a famous one! It has its own Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo).
Also fun is this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_while_John_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_a_better_effect_on_the_teacher), although it needs punctuation to make sense.
It is probably a good thing I don't want kids, because I'm really curious whether if, exposed to deep center embedding from birth, kids would learn to deal with it. Ha!
