the article touches on the fact that a sentence of any length could be constructed entirely out of buffalo, but it doesn't really explain how. here's how to make it arbitrarily long:
start with "Buffalo[place] buffalo[noun] buffalo[verb] buffalo[noun]"
after any "buffalo[noun]", insert "Buffalo[place] buffalo[noun] buffalo[verb]" to change the meaning to 'bison that Buffalo bison intimidate'
youve just created a new grammatical sentence of length n+3. iterate and enjoy
